A poet in this language was inspired by T. S. Eliot’s theory of the objective correlative for his idea of “occasions.” A poet who described how it was suddenly evening at the end of a three-line poem used this language, which was central to a 1920s literary movement named in reference to Hermes Trismegistus. The narrator of a poem in this language sits on a “solitary” hill and wonders how “sweet” it would be to be shipwrecked “in this sea.” This language of the collection Cuttlefish Bones was used to describe the limitless vastness of negative space in “The Infinite.” A poet in this language developed and used an interlocking three-line rhyme scheme for an epic where the author’s dead love guides him through the nine celestial spheres. For 10 points, name this language used by Nobel Prize winners Eugenio Montale and Salvatore Quasimodo. ■END■
