Robert Traill Spence Lowell IV (/ˈloʊəl/; March 1, 1917 – September 12, 1977) was an American poet. He was born into a Boston Brahmin family that could trace its origins back to the Mayflower.
from Wiki,
I remembered, vaguely, reading the poem in relation to Lowell and checked to make sure.
T. S. Eliot was born into the Eliot family, a Boston Brahmin family with roots in England and New England.
also from Wiki
I also had a recollection of this, those brahmins produced two very good poets.
ps apologies for looking this up, ' honor system' is not used here and it didn't register that this was a test.
