Question

Author and type of work required. One of these works muses that we must be “crowing cocks, and singing larks” to awaken a world “sleeping in ignorance and error” before concluding that “Alpha shall kiss Omega.” The author describes how “the Frogs sing sweet - today” in one of these works that introduced the expression “the heart wants what it wants.” The phrase “Little Cousins, Called Back” is the entire text of the last of these works, many of which include plant specimens from their author’s herbarium. One of these works responds to an (*) Atlantic Monthly piece (10[1])by asking “are you too deeply occupied to say if my Verse is alive?” Three passionate examples of these works, in which the author self-identifies as “Daisy,” are usually nicknamed for an unidentified “Master.” For 10 points, Thomas Wentworth Higginson was the recipient of many of what correspondences by the reclusive “Belle of Amherst?” ■END■
