This man told of how the sun "Woke, once, the clays of a cold star" and asked "O what made fatuous sunbeams toil / To break earth's sleep at all?" in one poem. The speaker of another of his poems escapes "down some profound dull tunnel," after which he encounters a man he'd killed the previous day. The title group of another work by this author of "Futility" is mourned by "bugles calling for them from sad shires." That poem by this man ends by describing "each slow dusk" as "a drawing down of blinds" and earlier asks "What passing bells for these who die as cattle?" The speaker of another of his poems sees a man "guttering, choking, drowning" after a gas attack. For 10 points, name this poet who wrote "Strange Meeting," "Anthem for Doomed Youth," and "Dulce Et Decorum Est."
