This poet described an “immense slackening ache” experienced by visitors to a man who directs “God about this eye, that knee.” In a different poem by this author, the speaker is eventually told he is “too selfish, withdrawn, / And easily bored to love.” This poet described death as “The anaesthetic from which none come round” in a poem parodying a medieval French form. Another of this man’s poems (-5[1])considers that “succeeding eyes [began] / To look, not read” at a (*) tomb effigy in Chichester (10[3])Cathedral. That poem by this writer concludes with an “almost-instinct (10[1])almost truth.” This poet of (10[3])“Aubade” wrote a (10[1])poem (10[1])describing how “man hands on misery (10[1])to (10[1])man,” and advising (10[1])the reader to not “have any kids (10[3])yourself.” For 10 (10[1])points, name this (10[1])librarian and poet who wrote “This Be the (10[1])Verse.” (0[7])■END■
