Answer:

Thomas hood

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas hood's, work has similarly been labelled ‘metaphysical’. In this poem, Vaughan laments the loss of a loved one and the silence that ensues.

Thomas Hood, ‘Silence’.

There is a silence where hath been no sound,

There is a silence where no sound may be,

In the cold grave—under the deep deep sea,

Or in the wide desert where no life is found,

Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound;

No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently,

But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free,

That never spoke, over the idle ground …

It’s a sonnet about silence more profound than the silence of the grave or the bottom of the ocean.

This ‘true Silence’ is ‘self-conscious and alone’.
