And though he treasured poetic tradition, his work nevertheless engaged directly with the great issues of his time, from industrialization and the...

Our century has seen him more clearly as a poet whose intellectual toughness, satiric gifts, and utter inability to be boring have made him one of the great comic spirits in our literature.
