In one of this author's poems, a woman makes a tentative peace with evanescence, deciding that "Death is the mother of beauty, mystical." This author's daughter Holly regards that poem as this author's greatest work, and this author also wrote, in the same poem, "Complacencies of the peignoir, and late/ Coffee…And the green freedom of a cockatoo/ Upon a rug mingle to dissipate/ The holy hush of ancient sacrifice." This author of (*) "Sunday Morning" and "Anecdote of the Jar" also wrote of whipping "concupiscient curds" in "kitchen cups" by "the roller of big cigars." For 10 points, name this poet of the collection Harmonium and the poem "The Emperor of Ice-Cream."
