In a Thomas Kinsella poem titled for one of these objects, the speaker feels a chattering “at my ear” upon visiting his grandmother’s deathbed. The narrator notes parenthetically that he heard some of these objects in the last line of Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “The Blessed Damozel.” These objects title a poem that mentions periods “Dear as remember’d kisses after death.” In the last stanza of Dylan Thomas’s “Do not go gentle into that good night,” the speaker asks his father to “curse, bless, me now” with “fierce” objects of this type. In a poem excerpted from the longer poem The Princess, the speaker says “I know not what [these objects] mean” before repeatedly invoking “the days that are no more.” For 10 points, name these objects that are “idle” in the title of a mournful Tennyson poem. ■END■
