This poet’s longest poem concludes with an image of cavalry dismounting “at the sight of water” after Aminadab fails to appear. A collection by Juan Ramón Jiménez takes its epigraph and title from this poet’s description of “sonorous silence.” The speaker invokes a “delectable wound” and a “delicate touch” in this author’s short poem “The Living Flame of Love.” The speaker of a poem by this author lingers “In (*) darkness and in safety, / By the secret ladder, disguised” after leaving a house “now at rest.” This poet of Spiritual Canticle wrote a book-length commentary on one of his poems, the title of which has become idiomatic for a personally challenging period or crisis of faith. For 10 points, name this canonized Spanish poet whose poem “Dark Night of the Soul” appears in his mystical book The Ascent of Mt. Carmel. ■END■
