One of this author's poems describes "The moving waters at their priestlike task / Of pure ablution round earth's human shores" and says of the title thing "would I were steadfast as thou art". He outlined the "thoughtless chamber" and the "chamber of maiden-thought" as part of an analogy of human life he called the "mansion of many apartments", while in another letter he expressed admiration for Shakespeare's ability to exist in (*) uncertainty so that "the sense of Beauty overcomes every other consideration". The speaker of one of his poems claims to have been "half in love with easeful Death". That poem asks "Fled is that music:do I wake or sleep?", opens "my heart aches, and a drowsy numbness pains / my sense", and is addressed to a creature who "wast not born for death". For 10 points, name this Romantic poet who coined the term "negative capability" and wrote "Bright Star" and "Ode to a Nightingale".
