Re: Poem Quote Game
Plath and Emerson both incorrect.

This is a British poet.

The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.

Re: Poem Quote Game
Here are the poem's opening lines:

The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full, the moon lies fair
Upon the straights ; on the French coast the light
Gleams and is gone


This was one of my favorite poems to teach.

Re: Poem Quote Game
Not Whitman or Kipling.

Reminder: it's an English poet, contemporaneous with Tennyson.

I give up again, clearly its none of the romantics and I can't think of another decent guess.

Actually, it's not the romantic period. It's the Victorian Age.
