Which phrases in this excerpt from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe help establish the setting?
docker41 [41]
Are you talking about this excerpt?

<span>Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
 As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "
'T is some visiter," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
 And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
 Eagerly I wished the morrow:—vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.
</span>
If so, here are the phrases that help establish the setting : ''Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.'', "<span>Once upon a midnight dreary,"</span><span>
