A poem by this author notes that "Nor law, nor duty bade me fight," but rather "A lonely impulse of delight." That poem, which like the one before it in the same collection, was inspired by the death of this author's friend Lady Augusta Gregory's son, sees its protagonist say that his "country is Kiltartan Cross." In another poem by this author, the title figures "Unwearied still, lover by loverÂ…(*) paddle in the cold;" that poem features "nine-and-fifty" of the title birds. In another of this author's poems, "The ceremony of innocence is drowned" and "the center cannot hold" as a "rough beastÂ…Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born."  For 10 points, name this author of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death," "The Wild Swans at Coole," and "The Second Coming."
