describe the meeting of ernest and poet?

The poet lodges with Ernest one evening. Ernest, unaware of his identity, welcomes him and the two start to talk. It is only a little later that the poet tells Ernest that he is an author. Ernest fails to recognise the similarity between the Great Stone Face and the poet. He turns sad that he had expected that the poet would fulfil the prophesy. The poet tells Ernest that his life has been a humble one and not exemplary like his poems claims it to be.
