One of this man's poems is titled after a character who will "hear no more the lowing of the valves on the warm hillside" or "see the brown mice bob round and round the oatmeal chest." That poem is set at a "leafy island where flapping herons wake the drowsy water rats" and where hidden fairy vats are "full of berries and of the reddest stolen cherries." That poem by this man includes a refrain telling a "human child" to come away because "the world's more full of weeping than you can understand." The narrator of a second poem notes that (*) "the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind." That narrator says "no likely end could bring them loss or leave them happier than before" after claiming "those that I fight I do not hate those that I guard I do not love." That poem by this man concerns a man driven to the clouds by "a lonely impulse of delight." For 10 points, name this poet of "The Stolen Child" who wrote "I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above" in his poem an "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death."
