One of his poems ends with a figure's useless struggle against "the flapping veils of smothering gloom," while in another the narrator fantasizes about killing the Yellow-Pressmen.
One of this author's characters convalesces at Nutwood Manor, the home of Lord and Lady Asterisk. One of his poems ends with a figure's useless struggle against "the flapping veils of smothering gloom," while in another the narrator fantasizes about killing the Yellow-Pressmen. This author appealed to "Brother Lead and Sister Steel" in one poem from his first collection, The Old Huntsman. His alter ego, (*) George Sherston, is the central character of the trilogy that began with Memoirs of A Fox-Hunting Man. Paul Fussell wrote about the "binary vision" evident in the recollection of his service in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and he used the name "David Cromlech" to fictionalize his colleague Robert Graves. His most famous poem describes a "yawning soldier" who "wondered when the Allemands would get busy" and later "sank and drowned/bleeding to death". For 10 points, name this author of "Suicide in the Trenches" and a collection titled for that aforementioned poem, "Counter-attack".
