In one poem, this man thinks himself "worse than any man that ever breathed." A poem narrated by this man describes "a gentleman of more than common understanding" who "would sit and watch the wind knocking a tree" and who ends up slitting his own throat. In a third poem, he calls himself "contemptible, stiff and dull" and laments "I have a constitution peculiarly unhappy," sparked by his apprehension at being offered a prestigious position. He tells (*) Josiah Hawley to imagine being thrown into a kiln in a poem which asks "How will the hands be strong? How will the heart endure?" and ends "this is the Black Widow, death." In that poem, this man sees a spider die after being thrown in a fire. For 10 points, name this subject of several Robert Lowell poems, a theologian who delivered the sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
