A Far Too Easy Pop Quiz

Flaming World

I think that the important words to apply to the lines below are Milton, uncreation, creation, and MacLeish, not necessarily in that order:
with mighty wings outspread
Dove-like satst brooding on the vast Abyss

There with vast wings across the cancelled skies,
How did you arrange the terms and lines? This is too easy, I know, but you guys have been working hard recently.

  1. The three lines of verse seem already to be in order and grouped according to author, so

    (Wast present,) and with mighty wings outspread
    Dove-like sat’st brooding on the vast abyss
    (found here)

    = Milton, creation (given the "mad'st it pregnant" line that follows)

    There with vast wings across the cancelled skies,

    = MacLeish, uncreation (word association: cancelled, nullified, annihilated, uncreated)
