The speaker of one of this poet's works invites the dark to come upon him like the moment when an underground train "stops too long between stations" and the passengers realize the "growing terror of nothing to think about." This man used the analogy of "a bit of finely filiated platinum" in the presence of oxygen and sulfur dioxide to introduce his idea of the poet's mind as a catalyst for producing poetry. One of his poems describes a yellow (*) fog rubbing its back on window panes. This author of Tradition and the Individual Talent wrote a poem whose speaker asks "Do I dare / Disturb the universe?" and which begins "Let us go then, you and I". For 10 points, name this poet who included "East Coker" in his Four Quartets and wrote "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
