Read the stanza from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore;
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

Answer:

"Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor."

Explanation:

the narrator references the Bible by referencing Seraphim, six-foot tall winged creatures whose job in biblical lore was to fly around God’s throne and praise him by repeating “Holy” over and over. These Seraphim are similar to the raven in the fact that they can only say one word.
