This is the second title quality of a man in a poem that repeats the line “Daybreak and a candle-end.” In a poem containing this quality in its title that was based on a Pierre de Ronsard sonnet, the speaker notes how “Love fled… and hid his face amid a crowd of stars.” A line about people with this quality is followed by one about people without this quality “in one another’s arms, birds in the trees.” The speaker of one poem notes how unless a (*) “soul clap its hands and sing,” a person with this quality is like “a tattered coat upon a stick.” A line about people with this quality was used to title a novel about Llewellyn Moss and Anton Chigurh (“Shi-gurr”) by Cormac McCarthy. For 10 points, the opening line of W.B. Yeats’ poem “Sailing to Byzantium” states, “That is no country for” what sort of men? ■END■
