Abstract
In his poetry, Wyatt openly acknowledges Seneca's impact upon him. Seneca, he realized, could teach him how to apply his intelligence to achieving perfect happiness. Interestingly, happiness was incompatible with the emotions produced by love. Instead, as Seneca put it, "one must take refuge in philosophy".
