This poet temporarily married Erika Mann, daughter of author Thomas Mann, so that she could gain British citizenship and flee Nazi Germany. He claimed that “soul and body have no bounds” in his love poem “Lullaby”. This man wrote about the end “of a low dishonest decade” as he sat “in one of the dives on (*) Fifty-second Street.” A speaker in one of this man’s poems despairs that “nothing now can ever come to any good” and “stop all the clocks” following the death of a lover. For ten points, name this poet of “Musée des Beaux Arts”, “September 1, 1939”, and “Funeral Blues.”
