   Extractions: Cambridge England Occupation ... historian Thomas Gray December 26 July 30 ), was an English poet , classical scholar and professor of Cambridge University He was born in Cornhill, London , the son of an exchange broker and a milliner. He was the fifth of eight children and the only child in his family to survive infancy. He lived with his mother after she left his abusive father. He was educated at Eton College where his uncle was one of the masters. He recalled his schooldays as a time of great happiness, as is evident in his Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College . Gray was a delicate and naturally scholarly boy who spent his time reading great literature and avoiding athletics. It was probably fortunate for the young and sensitive Gray that he was able to live in his uncle’s household rather than at college. He made three close friends at Eaton: Horace Walpole , son of Prime Minister Robert Walpole Thomas Ashton , and Richard West . The four of them prided themselves on their sense of style, their sense of humour, and their appreciation of beauty.

   Extractions: Thomas Gray (1716-1771) Thomas Gray by J. G. Eccardt, 1748 (detail) (National Portrait Gallery, London) Thomas Gray, known for his "Elegy in a Country Churchyard," wrote only one sonnet. In vain to me the smiling mornings shine, And reddening Phoebus lifts his golden fire; The birds in vain their amorous descant join; Or cheerful fields resume their green attire: These ears, alas! for other notes repine, A different object do these eyes require; My lonely anguish melts no heart but mine, And in my breast the imperfect joys expire. Yet morning smiles the busy race to cheer, And newborn pleasure brings to happier men; The fields to all their wonted tribute bear; To warm their little loves the birds complain; I fruitless mourn to him that cannot hear, And weep the more because I weep in vain.

    Extractions: Daily Poem of the Day Skip to content. Skip to navigation Sections Personal tools PoetSeers Poets Thomas Gray Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751), believed to have been written in the churchyard of Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, has become a lasting contribution to English literary heritage. It is still one of the most popular and most frequently quoted poems in the English language. Before the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, British General James Wolfe is said to have recited it to his officers, adding: "Gentlemen, I would rather have written that poem than take Quebec tomorrow". The poem's famous depiction of an "ivy-mantled tow'r" could be a reference to the early-mediaeval St Laurence's Church in Upton, Slough. Gray combined traditional forms and poetic diction with new topics and modes of expression and may be considered as a classically focussed precursor of the romantic revival. The Elegy was recognised immediately for its beauty and skill, and the Churchyard Poets are so named because they wrote in the shadow of Gray's great poem. It contains many outstanding phrases which have entered the common English lexicon, either on their own or as referenced in other works. A few of these include:
