A poem depicting one of these creatures "at night" ends by noting "Of immortality / his strategy / was physiognomy." One of these creatures sits "upon an arc of white" in that Emily Dickinson poem. The speaker of another poem parallels his soul, "surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space," with one of these creatures. The question "what brought the kindred" one of them "to that height?" appears in a poem that describes a "snow-drop" example of them as one of the "characters of death and blight" atop a "white (*) heal-all." Another of them is depicted atop a "little promontory", launching forth "filament, filament, filament out of itself." Robert Frost's "Design" begins with an encounter involving, for 10 points, what kind of creature, a "noiseless patient" example of which was described by Walt Whitman?
