First name: 6 letters
Surname: 7 letters
The "r" from Eyre is the first letter of the last name. This poet wrote a poem, the title of which has 8 letters, of which the 3rd is the "y" from Eyre. There has been a lot of discussion regarding whether or not this poem demonstrates that he had genuine synæsthsia.
What's the poet's name? (Extra credit: what's the name of the poem?)

Keats and Beaudelaire had the same thing.

The 5th letter of the 1st word is the one of the "E"s from Empress Eugénenie
