Another of his poems describes seeking the counsel of the "kind old sun" and asks "what made fatuous sunbeams toil / to break Earth's sleep at all?" A time when "each slow dusk" is "a drawing-down of blinds" is described in another poem by this author of "Insensibility" and (*) "Futility". His best-known poem was written in response to Jessie Pope, a civilian propagandist, and describes an "ecstasy of fumbling" followed by the sight of a man "guttering, choking, drowning" due to a gas attack. This poet asked "What passing bells for those who die as cattle?" in "Anthem for Doomed Youth" For 10 points, name this British war poet who wrote about Horace's "Old Lie" in "Dulce et Decorum Est".
