    The premise of a famous poem is that the narrator -- the only speaker -- is conducting a visitor through his extensive art collection. Pausing at one work, the subject of which is the title of the poem, he provides some rather disturbing information. What is this poem, who wrote it, and who is presumed to be the narrator?

    My brother, marking out stops on a tour for literature and history-minded cyclists, recently sent me an inquiry about a "heavenly" sculpture said to have inspired an important American novel. A little research indicated that he had the wrong sculpture in mind and also that the title of the novel had actually been inspired by a line in a 17th-century poem by someone who was definitely interested in the before-and-afterlife. What novel am I talking about, and what poem might this be?

    I believe the book and movie "We Were Soldiers Once" takes its title from a line in a poem that runs, "We were soldiers once, and young" but I can't remember the name of the poem or the poet. Anyone know?
