and a "Brother!"
One poem by this author describes a youth encountering an assassin "attired in the garb of old day." In another poem by this author, a spirit stops a "maid with violets" from offering flowers to the grave of her lover. A collection by this author contains a poem about some angels above a church who wonder why the "little black streams of people stayed so long within." The speaker of another poem by him describes "many devils running, leaping and carousing in sin," one of whom calls him a "Comrade!" and a "Brother!" He described "a creature, naked, and bestial" in a desert that ate his own heart. This author began that aforementioned poetry collection "clang and clang of spear and shield, and clash and clash of hoof and heel" after the titular characters "came out from the sea." For 10 points, name this author of The Black Riders, a novelist who also wrote Maggie and The Red Badge of Courage.
