However, while you're right that Chaucer is buried in Poet's Corner, none of the other poets you list are buried there. Milton is buried in St. Giles Cripplegate, a London church; Burns is buried in Dumfries, Scotland; Hopkins is buried in Dublin, Ireland; Wordsworth is buried in Grasmere in the English Lake District; Keats is buried in Rome; Gray is buried in Stoke Poges, England; Blake is buried in an unmarked grave in London; Eliot was cremated, and his ashes were taken to a church in East Coker, England; Percy Bysshe Shelley, who you refer to as "Percy Bysshe," drowned in Italy, was cremated, and his ashes were interred in a Protestant cemetery in Rome. Shelley's heart is buried near his wife, Mary Shelley, in Bournemouth, England. All of the poets you mention have memorial markers in Poet's Corner. Interesting post.
