Daisy's recitation of this poem moves the criminal Baxter to tears in the climactic scene of Ian McEwan's Saturday. A character yells "Go home and think of your first husband divorced and your second husband killed in a jet and your third husband blowing his brains out" after reading this poem, which causes his wife to lock herself in the bathroom and take sleeping pills, and causes Mrs. Phelps to cry. The title character of a poem based on this one "had read (*) Sophocles in a fairly good translation and caught that bitter allusion to the sea." A pejorative is substituted for the last word in this poem's title in a parody by Anthony Hecht. This poem's speaker says "Ah, love, let us be true to one another!" and compares the world to "a darkling plain Â… where ignorant armies clash by night." For 10 points, name this Matthew Arnold poem.
