To carry praise or blame to far," we can do the title action "To stay our minds on and be staid."
One poem by this author claims that "It is true the longest drought will end in rain / The longest peace in China will end in strife" though "that calm seems perfectly safe to-night." That poem begins by noting "You'll wait a long, long time for anything much / To happen in heaven." Another of this author's poems implores "Say something to us we can learn!" "Talk Fahrenheit, talk Centigrade" because "to be ($) wholly taciturn / In your reserve is not allowed," though "We grant your loftiness the right / To some obscurity of cloud." That poem says that, "at times the mob is swayed / To carry praise or blame to far," we can do the title action "To stay our minds on and be staid." For ten points, name this author of (*) "On Looking Up by Chance at the Constellations" and "Choose Something Like a Star."
