The idea
Arthur Hugh Clough, Arnold's friend, wrote poems of religious doubt and modern uncertainty, including "Say Not the Struggle Naught Availeth," Amours de Voyage, inspired by the siege of Rome in eighteen forty-nine, and "Easter Day," a denial of the Resurrection.
In practice
Doubt and irony.
Where people slip
Clough is a poet of doubt like Arnold.
