Both poems tell of a male speaker's longing for a woman, but their tone could not be more different. The speaker of Poe's "The Raven" is morose and melancholy; he is thinking of Lenore, his dead love, when a raven flies in. He masochistically questions the bird, each time receiving the same answer: "Nevermore", which he takes to mean that he will never again see Lenore. His insistent questioning is seen as sign of mental instability, since he knows the bird cannot give him a true answer, and yet persists in his questions.

Yeats's poem, on the other hand, tells of a fleeting vision of a woman, perhaps a faery. The speaker then begins his wandering in search for her. Though the poem is also melancholic, it is a lighter sort of melancholy. Though we may surmise that the speaker shall never find her, he himself has not lost hope and his wanderings seem less gloomy than the dreariness of Poe's poem. His goal (kiss her lips and take her hands) has a sensuality that dispels any sense of doom.

2. How does science supply the data to philosophy for philosophical speculation?
Anestetic [448]
Despite wide recognition that speculation is critical for successful science, philosophers have attended little to it. When they have, speculation has been characterized in narrowly epistemic terms: a hypothesis is speculative due to its (lack of) evidential support. These ‘evidence-first’ accounts provide little guidance for what makes speculation productive or egregious, nor how to foster the former while avoiding the latter. I examine how scientists discuss speculation and identify various functions speculations play. On this basis, I develop a ‘function-first’ account of speculation. This analysis grounds a richer discussion of when speculation is egregious and when it is productive, based in both fine-grained analysis of the speculation’s purpose, and what I call the ‘epistemic situation’ scientists face.
