A poem addressed to this man suggests that one of his own works described men dressed "half like Romans and half like the Knave of Hearts".
A poem addressed to this man suggests that one of his own works described men dressed "half like Romans and half like the Knave of Hearts". This man, who is told to "hang it all" because "there can be but one Sordello" in Ezra Pound's Three Cantos, opened his collection Men and Women with a poem that abruptly concludes "Love is best" called "Love (*) Among the Ruins". One of this poet's speakers describes how "tonight's gay feast" could not "restrain / a sudden thought of one so pale" and relates that a certain woman "has not said a word!" after being strangled with her own hair. The subject of his most famous poem is accused of having "a heart too soon made glad" by a man who proudly describes Fra Pandolf's painting of her. For 10 points, name this British poet of such dramatic monologues as "Porphyria's Lover" and "My Last Duchess".
