In one response to this poem by Anthony Hecht, a character is addressed as a "sort of mournful cosmic last resort." One section of this work describes retreating towards the "naked shingles of the world," while in another section of this work the narrator claims the world "hath neither joy, nor love, nor light." Another stanza of this work sees a (*) playwright imagine the "turbid ebb and flow / Of human misery," having heard it on the Aegean. This poem ends by noting that "we are here as on a darkling plain," and this work earlier states that "the cliffs of England stand" and notes that "The sea is calm tonight." For 10 points, identify this poem by Matthew Arnold.
