This writer described how "columns of leaves/burn and stir" next to the title object of a poem that opens with the exhortation "Now is the time for fire!" A character in another of his poems "balanced/the good gifts of the earth and united distant with near" and muses "Say, where is Athens?" Another of his poems wonders what the purpose of night is, save "holy drunkenness" and "frenzied oblivion," and wonders "who wants poets at all in lean years?" This author of "The Archipelago" wrote a drama in which Hermocrates and Kritias, the ruler of Agrigentum, impel a philosopher to prove his godhood. Along with "Bread and Wine," and that unfinished drama, The Death of Empedocles, this Hellenophile adapted his letters to Bellarmin and Diotima into an influential novel. For 10 points, name this Romantic author of "The Ister" and Hyperion, the favorite German poet of Nietzsche and Heidegger alike.
