I think the quote "It is useless to meet revenge with revenge: it will heal nothing." from the novel The Return of the King by J.R.R Tolkien is saying that there's no point in trying to get equal with someone by revenge because in the end, nothing would happen. Trying to get over a situation with someone by using revenge can only create more problems.
I agree with this quote because there really isn't a reason to get revenge on the other person. For example if a kid were to be bullied by another person and the kid bullies the bully, the only thing that would happen is that the kid would get even more bullied by the bully and that would cause more serious problems for the kid. Revenge is not the answer to solve a problem.

Blog 7 "The Raven" Preview
In my own opinion, I think that these words are mysterious and creepy. Someone who likes dark and spooky things would probably use these words. These words create an eerie mood because I don't ever hear or see anyone use this type of vocabulary in their writing besides Poe because he's into the creepy stuff. I also think that these words have a bit of the past to them because instead for using "folk tale" Poe used "lore".
