Question
In a novel titled for this poem, a scholar reading it on a bus to Peter Ramus College decides to remain in the Faraway Hills. This poem’s first lines establish its springtime setting by referring to the “flowering season” when “Europa’s false-hearted abductor” grazes on stars. This poem describes birds like the Dutch gyrfalcon and the Inca osprey in its “falconry scene,” which parallels the shepherds’ wedding in its first part. The first entry in John Crowley’s Ægypt tetralogy is titled for this poem, which follows a (*) shipwrecked youth who washes up in one of its title countryside settings. Sor Juana’s First Dream imitates this poem’s silva form. Critics of this incomplete, two-part poem coined a term meaning “cultivated Lutheranism” to denigrate its ornate style. For 10 points, name this exemplar of culteranismo, a Luis de Góngora poem titled for its depiction of lonely, isolated places. ■END■
