An extract from Paradise Lost:

"...Into this wild abyss,
The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave,
Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,
But all these in their pregnant causes mixed
Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,
Unless th'Almighty Maker them ordain
___ ____ ______ to create more worlds---"

Poet and the Poem

This is a Poem ‘X’ written by ‘Y’ in 1845. Give me Both.

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.’

……………… (few paragraphs have been skipped)………..

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately ‘X’ of the saintly days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -
Perched, and sat, and nothing more. "
