Packet 9: Tossup 14

In a poem partly titled for this place, the speaker “pleaded, outlaw-wise” and traveled “across the margent of the world” before being told, “naught shelters thee, who wilt not shelter me.” (15[1])The speaker says of a creature from this place that “I fled him down the nights and down the days” in that poem, the most famous work by Francis Thompson. (15[1])This place is mentioned immediately following the line “ah, but a man’s reach should (15[1])(*) exceed his grasp” (10[2])in Andrea del Sarto. The stars are said to have thrown “down their spears” and watered this place “with their tears” (10[1])in the penultimate stanza of “The Tyger.” A figure is said to be “in his” this place before the line “All’s right with the world!” in “Pippa Passes.” For 10 points, (10[1])name this first title place of a William Blake book (10[1])titled (-5[1])for its “Marriage” to its opposite. ■END■ (10[2])
