Main detail is the main point of your paragraph/essay. you want to be able to start and finish with that so it will remain within the reader thought for longer.
(We Brits have a saying "if a piece of literacy is stuck in your head, the writer has accomplished his or her goal" )
the supporting details are smaller points that correlate and support the main point. note that you should never start with a supporting point, nor should you ever end with one, it is simply there to extend and highlight the main detail. starting or ending with supporting details will ensure that the reader will almost instantaneously forget your essay and they may even find it boring because it doesn't show consistency.

The visit by the raven at night makes him more distraught, continuously thinking of his Lenore and if by any chance, there is "<em>a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore</em>". He could not stop thinking about his lost love. Thus, the character of Lenore is the speaker's lover who had died recently.
