There is a reference to  "The Wild Knight" in "Silhouette", the story with
icefoam set in a decaying spaceship.   The character is reading an e-book
sort of thing.

I doubt one reader in a thousand has read the poem or knows who it is by.

Just be thankful Wolfe didn't go the whole hog and start on Belloc, eh?
