He compared Alexander Pope's Illiad to George Chapman's Odyssey in his lecture series On Translating Homer. This author wrote that one of the title concepts was the "best that has been thought and said in the world" in his nonfiction Culture and Anarchy, and he exclaimed "Go, for they call you, Shepherd!" in "The Scholar Gypsy." After the death of his friend Arthur Clough, this man penned a monody titled Thyrsis. Another of his works opens "The sea is calm to-night" and notes that "Sophocles long ago, Heard it on the Agaean." For 10 points, name this critic and poet who wrote about a "darkling plain" where "ignorant armies clash by night" in "Dover Beach."
