Round 8: Tossup 13

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.” 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. 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, name this first title place of a William Blake book (10[1])titled for its “Marriage” to its opposite. ■END■
