Which words in this excerpt from edgar allan poe's “the raven” give the raven a dignified and elegant appearance?

open here i flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
in there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.
not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he,
but, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
perched upon a bust of pallas just above my chamber door—
perched, and sat, and nothing more.

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
