In the poem The Raven what does speaker want to forget?

The speaker in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" wants to forget the loss of his beloved Lenore.

He is deeply grieving her death and seeking solace in his memories of her, but the Raven's constant repetition of "Nevermore" only serves to remind him of his loss and the impossibility of ever seeing her again. The poem's narrator is consumed by grief and longing for his lost love, and the Raven's presence only deepens his despair.
