An author from this country wrote of paintings drawing back a curtain on the writing of a poet from here who claims “’Tis dead, ’tis dust, ’tis shadow, yea, ’tis nought” at the end of the poem “To Her Portrait.” That poet from this modern-day country charges the title subjects with patent arrogance “that fights with many weapons” in the poem “You Foolish Men.” This is the home country of both the author and subject of the biography The Traps of Faith. In a poem from this country, a woman whose breasts are “two churches of blood” is told “I travel your body, like the world.” A 584-line poem from this country opens “a willow of crystal, a poplar of water” and borrows a circular calendar for its title, “Sun Stone.” For 10 points, name this home country of Sor Juana and Octavio Paz. ■END■
