The speaker of a poem by this author wishes to join a "glimmering girl" in picking "the silver apples of the moon / the golden apples of the sun." This author described a woman with "beauty like a tightened bow" in a poem which wonders, "Why should I blame her that she filled my days / With misery." A third poem by this author describes how "A shudder in the loins engenders there / The broken wall, the burning roof and tower / And Agamemnon dead." This author's love for Maud Gonne inspired his poems "No Second Troy" and "Leda and the Swan." For 10 points, name this poet who asked, "What rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?" in "The Second Coming."
