This work notes that "each half lives a hundred different lives," and contrasts those who wait with one who waits in hope.
This work notes that "each half lives a hundred different lives," and contrasts those who wait with one who waits in hope. Its speaker denounces himself as a half-believer in "casual creeds" and recounts leaning backward in "a pensive dream" during a mid-summer crossing of the Thames at Bab-lock- hithe, but fails to spot the title character, who is probably off observing fair maidens dancing around the May-pole at Fyfield. The title character also lingers near the Cumner Hills and in Bagley Woods, and the speaker thinks that he saw him struggling against the snow on a bridge near Hinskey. This poem ends with two stanzas describing the voyage of a Tyrian trade-ship sailing the Mediterranean to Iberia, and begins with the speaker urging a shepherd to tend to his flocks. Based on a tale from The Vanity of Dogmatizing by Glanvill, for 10 points, name this long poem about a student who leaves Oxford to wander around, by Matthew Arnold.
