1907-1963. British poet, born in Belfast. He
made his debut with Blind Fireworks 1929 and
developed a polished ease of expression,
reflecting his classical training, as in
Autumn Journal 1939. Unlike many of his
contemporaries, he was politically
uncommitted. Later works include the play The
Dark Tower 1947, written for radio, for which
he also wrote features 1941-49; a verse
translation of Goethe's Faust, and the radio
play The Administrator 1961. He also
translated the Greek classics.
