This writer described a title figure who "knew human folly like the back of his hand / And was greatly interested in armies and fleets" in "Epitaph on a Tyrant." In another poem, "Waves of anger and fear / Circulate over the bright" and "The unmentionable odour of death" offends the title night of "September 1, 1939". "The dogs go on with their doggy life" and "the ploughman may have heard the splash, the forsaken cry" but goes on with his life in his best known poem, which begins "About suffering they were never wrong, / The Old Masters." For 10 points, Landscape with the Fall of Icarus by Pieter Brueghel inspired what poet's "Musée des Beaux Arts"?
