My first guess would be Dostoevsky 'The Idiot', but that only uses part of the first and second clues.
ФЁДОР (Fedor) I took to be Fyodor (Dostoevsky) and only the Id from the Freud clue and ending with IoT
... so all I ended up with was Fedor Idiot - and the rest was a guess.
Well done guys! I was hoping the definite article might be the red herring that kept you slightly off the scent. The title of the poem's spelling of Rime is I believe edition correct for the first print. I found a copy of the original poem's title and it was RIME - looking a bit deeper (Strunk & White) and the OED I found that Historically rime was used in the context of poetry, such as in the title of the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem.
Congrats to Canuck for the overall solve 🏆🏆🏆🏆
and to TM for the resolve of the ART-TICKLE = article 🏆🏆🏆🏆
