In a Sinclair Lewis novel, the literary club of Go
In a Sinclair Lewis novel, the literary club of Gopher Prairie, Minnesota is named for one of this man's works. The speaker of one of this author's poems is awed by a Power "whose care / Teaches thy way along that pathless coast" though soon "that toil shall end." The speaker of that poem by this author hopes that "in the long way that [he] must tread alone," his steps will be led aright by the one who guides the addressee's "certain flight." Another of this author's poems suggests not going "like the quarry-slave at night" when "thy summons comes to join" an "innumerable caravan," and to simply lie "down to pleasant dreams." For 10 points, name this poet of "To a Waterfowl," who penned a meditation on death called "Thanatopsis."
