In one poem by this author, the speaker notes that "if anything might rouse him now / the kind old sun will know," leading him to question why the "fatuous sunbeams toil / To break earth's sleep at all?"
In one poem by this author, the speaker notes that "if anything might rouse him now / the kind old sun will know," leading him to question why the "fatuous sunbeams toil / To break earth's sleep at all?" This author of "Futility" described "the wildest beauty in the world" as not lying "calm in eyes" or in "braided hair" but rather mocking "the steady running of the hour" in a poem in which the speaker's claim that "here is no cause to mourn" is met with a rebuttal ending "let us sleep now" delivered by the (*) enemy that the speaker killed. In another poem by this author of "Strange Meeting," "hasty orisons" come from "only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle" "for those who die as cattle." This man also attacked "the old lie" in a poem describing a gas attack. For 10 points, name this author of "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Dulce Et Decorum Est."
