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.

Ruin seize thee, ruthless King! Confusion on thy banners wait, Though fann’d by Conquest’s crimson wing They mock the air with idle state.

The Bard [1757], sec. I st. 1, l. 1
