The speaker of one of his poems states that "too rare, too rare grow now" his trips to the location where he and the now deceased titular figure went often in the old days. The opening lines to one of his poems urges the shepherd to go "from the hill" and "untie their wattled cotes," and states that the titular figure is "free from the sick fatigue" and that he "waits for a spark from heaven." A Joseph Glanvill story was the basis for that poem, "The Scholar-Gipsy", which this author wrote as a companion poem to his elegy for Arthur Hugh Clough, his "Thyrsis". His most famous poem notes that a certain thinker contemplated the "turbid ebb and flow/ of human misery" upon hearing an "eternal note of sadness" on the Aegean. That work opens by noting that the "Sea is calm tonight" at the titular location. For 10 points, name this poet of "Dover Beach."
