The raven enters through the window.
Explanation:
The raven knocks at the door twice: once the poet thinks he only imagines it and the other time he opens the door to find no one there. But then:
“Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
’Tis the wind and nothing more!”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;
I've added the bolded text.
The raven enters through the open window.
