This author, whose death was the subject of a poem by W.H. Auden
One poem about this man commands "Earth, receive an honoured guest / [This man] is laid to rest." That poem mentions how "the brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted" on the day when "he disappeared in the dead of winter." This author asked "What can I but enumerate old themes" in a poem whose final stanza concludes with the speaker laying down "where all the ladders start / in the (*) foul rag and bone shop of the heart".
