Which two lines in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe The Raven show the use of flashback

Once Upon a Midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary

while I nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping

Ah distinctly remember it was In The Bleak December

eagerly I wished the morrow vainly I had sought to borrow

nameless here evermore

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
