Ruin seize thee, ruthless King! Confusion on thy b · Thomas Gray

Far from the sun and summer-gale, In thy green lap

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.

Thomas Gray

1716-12-26 — 1771-07-30 · Londres

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.
