Question

A poem about the “need of going forward and braving the struggle of life” was written as a response to this man's death. This man inspired a poem that addresses a “fisherman’s boy” and a “sailor lad,” (15[1])as well as one that names a stanza of iambic pentameter with an ABBA rhyme scheme. A poem dedicated to this man mentions a “dark house” where the author stands in the “long unlovely street.” This dedicatee of (*) “Break, Break, (10[1])Break” also inspired a 133-canto poem that begins by addressing the “Strong Son of God, immortal Love.” A poem about this man's 1833 death invokes a “Nature, red in tooth and claw” and claims, “'Tis better to have loved and lost (10[1])/ Than (10[1])never to have loved at all.” For 10 points, name this friend of Alfred, Lord Tennyson and dedicatee of his In Memoriam. ■END■
