On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamp-light gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamp-light gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore!

Why does the speaker use repetition in the phrases "lamp-light gloated o'er" and "lamp-light gloating o'er" in the excerpt?

to show that the electric light is flickering on and off in the darkened room, which contributes to a frightful mood

to emphasize that the light is shining on the spot where Lenore will never sit again, which contributes to a lonely mood

to show that the speaker is having trouble seeing even with the light of the lamp turned directly on the chair, which contributes to a mysterious mood

to emphasize that the light is next to the chair where the speaker is sitting, which contributes to a sad mood
