A poem about a man with this profession posits that "Meteor-moons" and "balls of blaze" appeared after "the earth had done her best… to scale the sky."
A poem about a man with this profession posits that "Meteor-moons" and "balls of blaze" appeared after "the earth had done her best… to scale the sky." A different poem pictures a man with this profession as a "ghostly cricket, creaking where a house was burned," imploring that his city turn into "dust and ashes." A man with this profession turns to the "ineffable Name," who is the "builder and maker… of houses not made with hands," for consolation when his metaphorical "palace" crumbles, and ends the poem resolving to "try to sleep." This profession of (*) "Abt Vogler" is shared by the addressee of an octameter poem in rhyming triplets, who asks: "What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?" in response to a couple making out while asking him to perform during a masked ball in Venice. For 10 points, name this profession of Baldassare Galuppi, whose "toccata" is the subject of a poem by Robert Browning.
