A poem titled for one of these objects ends with the lament that “Christ save us all from a death like this.” The speaker claims, “There is no [one of these objects] like a Book,” in an Emily Dickinson poem. (15[2])The title creature is compared to one of these objects (*) “of pearl” in the first line of “The Chambered (10[1])Nautilus,” whose author began another poem about one of these objects with the exclamation “Ay, (10[1])tear her tattered ensign down!” For 10 points, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (10[1])stopped the decommissioning of what kind of vehicle with his poem “Old Ironsides?” (10[1])■END■
