Thomas Gray citáty
strana 3

Thomas Gray byl anglický básník, vědec a profesor historie na univerzitě v Cambridgi, kde strávil většinu života.

Ačkoliv patřil k nejméně plodným básníkům , je považován za nejvýraznější postavu anglické poezie v polovině 18. století. Jeho Elegie psána na hřbitově vesnickém se stala trvalou součástí anglického literárního dědictví a je jednou z nejoblíbenějších a nejčastěji citovaných básní v angličtině. Wikipedia
