Question
In a poem titled for this place, the speaker obliquely references the then-recent libel trial of Giacinto Achilli by chiding those who “contend and cry no more.” The speaker beholds this place and notes that “there / rested within an awful solitude” in Book VI of The Prelude. After passing “limestone scars with ragged pines,” a guide cries out “Strike leftward!” to direct the speaker to this place, whose “pointed roofs” prompt him to ponder whether it’s “a palace of the Kings of (*) France.” As he explores this place, the speaker imagines his past “robust teachers” whispering, “What dost thou in this living tomb?” A poet drew on the night he spent in this place with his bride Frances Wightman to label modernity and religion as “two worlds, one dead, the other powerless to be born.” For 10 points, what Carthusian monastery inspired a melancholic set of “Stanzas” written by Matthew Arnold? ■END■
