George Cabot "Bay" Lodge (October 10, 1873 – August 21, 1909) was an American poet of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

[3] Lodge began studies at Harvard College, and continued them in France, at the University of Paris, and Berlin into his mid-twenties.

His style and artistic outlook were deeply affected by the pessimism of Schopenhauer and Giacomo Leopardi, as well as French influences including Baudelaire and Leconte de Lisle.

Her maternal grandfather was Secretary of State Frederick Theodore Frelinghuysen and her great-grandfather was Massachusetts governor John Davis.

[7] Together Mathilda and George were the parents of three children,[9] including two sons who both became prominent politicians: Lodge died, aged 35, of heart failure while vacationing on Tuckernuck Island, near Nantucket, on August 21, 1909.

[26] A biography, The Life of George Cabot Lodge (1911), was written by his friend and confidant Henry Adams.
