Question

This poet chastised the “blindworm” who “prates / Of the culture of mankind” while his country harries a neighbor “with rifle and with knife” in a poem that laments “things are in the saddle, / And ride mankind.” This poet argued that “it is not metres, but a metre-making (15[1])argument that makes a poem” in an essay that casts language as “fossil poetry” created by “liberating gods.” The earth asks, “How am I theirs, / If they cannot hold me, / But I hold them?” in a “song” embedded in a poem by this author. In “simple (*) ignorance,” the speaker of a poem by this author supposes that the “self-same Power that (-5[1])brought me (10[1]-5[1])there (10[1])brought you.” (10[1]-5[1])This poet’s (-5[1])anti-war “Ode” is “inscribed” to W. H. Channing. He drew on the Vishnu Purana for “Hamatreya,” and on the Bhagavad Gita for a poem (10[1])whose speaker claims to be the “doubter and the doubt,” “Brahma.” For 10 points, name this author of the poem “The Rhodora” and the essay (10[2])“The Poet.” ■END■ (10[5])
