One poem by this author describes a man "who lived a life of fire" that saw his "orange purple" glow, but when he died he realized "that he had not lived." Another of this man's poems describes a figure who once said "I know the way, -- come" but he confesses "I am lost" at the poem's end. Those two poems appear in this author's 1895 poetry collection, whose first poem describes a "clang and clang of hoof and heel, wild shouts and the wave of hair." Another poem, published in 1899, sees the narrator use the title statement to tell a maiden "your lover threw wild hands toward the sky and the affrighted steed ran on alone." Another poem by this man, sometimes called "In the Desert," describes a "naked, bestial" creature that enjoys heating his own bitter heart. For 10 points, identify this author of "War is Kind" and the poetry collection The Black Riders and Other Lines, who also wrote "The Bride comes to Yellow Sky."
