Question

Hello.Could you please make out couple of sentences using "nevermore"?Is "I nevermore will listen to you" acceptable?Thanks.

You probably won't find the single word "nevermore" in modern dictionaries. I'm not even sure what the raven said: was it never more or nevermore?"

Modern speakers would say "I will never listen to you again/I will never again listen to you."

Okay, thank you. I just heard a song with such a line: "Nevermore look up to you and adore"

I found these on the internet.

The Nevermore Film Festival is in its twelfth year.

"Nevermore" is an American heavy metal band from Seattle, Washington.
The poem "The Raven" by Poe contains the line "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore.'"
Dian Curtis Regan is the author of Princess Nevermore and many other books.
In the coming months Nevermore Games will be launching their official website.

You may occasionally see it in poetry or in song lyrics, but other than that, the word "nevermore" is not used - certainly not in ordinary conversation. The most famous use of the word was in Poe's poem "The Raven", and it has by now been co-opted for use mostly in brand names, most of which refer to something dark and Gothic as suggested by the poem.

Use "never again" instead.

-- Would you see that movie a second time?

-- No! Never again! (Not Nevermore!)
