The speaker of this poem tells its main character "No, no, thou hast not felt the lapse of hours!" The speaker likens the central action to Dido's refusal to talk to Aeneas in Hades, "still nursing the unconquerable hope," and compares the title character to a "grave Tyrian trader" who sails "between the Syrtes and soft Sicily." In this poem, rumored sightings of the title character include "at some lone homestead on the Cumner Hills," "above Godstow's Bridge," and "on the skirts of Bagley Wood." Inspired by Joseph Glanvil's book The Vanity of Dogmatizing, it describes a character "tired of knocking at preferment's door" who "one summer-morn forsook his friends," and "roamed the world with that wild brotherhood." For 10 points, name this poem about a poor Oxford student who leaves to join the titular group, written by Matthew Arnold.
