Thomas Gray

--
Birth: 1716-12-26 , Londres
Death: 1771-07-30 , Cambridge
Thomas Gray was an English poet, primarily recognized for his "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard". His work, though scarce, is characterized by melancholy, reflection on mortality and the beauty of the ephemeral, and a profound landscape sensitivity. Despite a quiet life dedicated to study, his poetry explored universal themes with a formal mastery that significantly influenced early Romanticism.
