Question
An ode by this author imagines that “beside some water’s rushy brink / With me the Muse shall sit”; that ode by this poet concludes “Thy sun is set, thy spring is gone — / We frolic, while ’tis May.” In a Pindaric ode that is considered an early work of the Celtic Revival, this author wrote about a poet who curses Edward I as his army marches through Snowdonia. This author of “Ode on the Spring” and “The Bard” wrote a Horatian ode that opens by describing a “watery glade” crowned by “distant spires” and “antique towers.” That ode by this poet, which declares “where ignorance is bliss, / ’Tis folly to be wise,” is about an institution on the “hoary Thames (“temz”).” For 10 points, name this poet of “Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College” and “Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard.” ■END■
