Need help remembering a poem's title an author
an old king wanders into the woods and asks the trees where his dead wives and dead children have gone
the trees say nothing
i think the leaves are either dying or dead and gone
I think it was by a formerly respected academic American poet who isn't read much nowadays, somebody like Roethke or Allen Tate or Yvor Winters
Does this sound familiar to anybody?

But am I paranoid enough?"
-- DFW.
He claimed to not be influenced by Pynchon but it's clear he was lying.
What was your question again?
