Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote “Crossing the Bar” a few years before his 1892 death, using a “sandbar” as an extended metaphor for death; its final stanza is “For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place / The flood may bear me far / I hope to see my Pilot face to face / when I have crost the bar.”
Others buried at Poets’ Corner include Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, Ted Hughes, C.S. Lewis, and Philip Larkin.

Game Recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
Categories: The Nifty ’50s; Othello, Macbeth, or Hamlet Sayeth…; Never Won an Emmy; 12-Letter Words; What Are You Afraid Of?; Shoe Know It!
Joe and Marina got off to the best start in today’s game, with challenger Pete not getting in on the signaling device until the first clue after the interviews! Unfortunately, Pete only had $800 after Single Jeopardy!, while Joe and Marina jumped out to an advantage.
Double Jeopardy! Round:
Categories: The Map of Europe; Archaeology Glossary; Dual Biographies; Government Programs; Hit Me; With Your Best “Shot”
Double Jeopardy! became a 3-player battle, with Pete picking up three $2,000 clues to jump into the lead late! Unfortunately, Joe found the middle “too much to protect the lead, but not enough to bet for the game outright” range on his final Daily Double, which gave Marina an opening—she got two of the last three clues to hold a slim lead going into Final Jeopardy!. Scores going into the final round were Marina at $11,000, Pete at $10,800, and Joe at $10,600.
Final was a Triple Stumper today, but Pete decided to take a chance by standing pat—it worked out for him, as he is now Jeopardy! champion! He’ll return tomorrow to go for victory number two!

Today’s interviews:
Marina got to repair Bjork’s swan dress.
Pete wears an orange tie for superstition.
Joe recently developed a carpentry habit.
Andy’s Thoughts:
- I thought that Marina’s Final Jeopardy! bet was a poor choice, considering that Pete had occasion to bet significantly. If you’re not going to cover in this position, you need to bet very small and hope for the Triple Stumper. A middling bet gains zero advantage.

Poetry and I diverged in a wood. Because I did not stop for Poetry, it passed largely unnoticed by me. (Profusely paraphrased portmanteau poetry.) I guessed Keats. Hey, I got yesterday’s. I was a “computer guy” for 21 years, after all. I think the Finals have been getting easier lately, not harder, as someone commented on. Maybe they’re writing them out of concern for the geriatric crowd, part of the club I’m in, and well represented on this site, I’m supposing. Maybe the writers themselves are part of that club (-:
Joe had a fairly impressive 20 right, vs Pete’s 10 right. If Joe had bet just a little less in Double Jeopardy, Joe would have won.
To be fair, this is pretty top-level for someone who knows the category, and it’s a category that comes up quite often on Jeopardy.
Just because it’s hard for you, that doesn’t mean it’s a hard question. I got it on the word “baron.” Yet give me a clue about modern pop songs or baseball and it’s all crickets in my head.
Thankfully, Jeopardy is one place where school subjects are still asked about. They don’t bother with too much of this in pub trivia.
And FYI, Lord Byron died in the early 19th century. Went off to fight in the Greek civil war and took deathly ill. Wrote mostly about love. Tennyson, though, was the guy who wrote Charge of the Light Brigade. This question had a few ways in.
Not up on olde English poets. Did “study” them in school LONG AGO, but for a very short time of quite short examples. The words did sound familiar, but unfortunately I felt they “sounded like” Coleridge. Had I realized that a baron is a Lord, I MIGHT have guessed it as I usually remember the existence of an Alfred, Lord Tennyson (without remembering what sort of literature he wrote).
