Question
In depicting a historical figure’s “Journey to Rome,” the author of this sequence provides him with a “maroon GT” whose “car radio, glimmering, received broken utterance from the horizon of storms.” For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this sequence, another poem in which places “steel against yew and privet.” In a poem in this sequence, one character flays a friend in “the old quarries,” then journeys “in his private derelict sandlorry named Albion.”
ANSWER: Mercian Hymns (By Geoffrey Hill; the three referenced poems are Mercian Hymns VII, XVII, and XX.)
[10e] Another purposefully anachronistic Geoffrey Hill poem examines Nazi atrocities by juxtaposition with the immorality that this poet advocated in Amores. This Roman poet wrote the similarly licentious Ars Amatoria.
ANSWER: Ovid [or Publius Ovidius Naso] (The poem is “Ovid in the Third Reich.”)
[10m] Hill again interweaves history and personal experience in a cycle that dwells on this poet’s notion of a “spiritual, Platonic old England.” This poet posited an influential distinction between “primary” and “secondary” imagination.
ANSWER: Samuel Taylor Coleridge (The cycle is An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England; Coleridge differentiated the primary and secondary imagination in his Biographia Literaria.)
