From "E le gy Written In a Country Churchyard'
By
Thom u

G ;ty
NO other poet of ancient or modern times has trained
so much fame by the publication of one of hls poems
as Thomas Gray, the author of the immortal Fb-«>
Written In a Country Churchyard.’ Extracts are given
below, the entire poem of more than 10U stanzas being
too long for reproduction here. Gray was born in Lon­
don In 1716 and died in Cambridge In 1771. He was well
educated at Eton and Cambridge am' iilled a chair at
the latter Institution. Although Gray's other poems are
now read only by scholars, they possess considerable
merit. The “ Elegy In a Country Churchyard," however, has made a
place for itself in the minds of the English speaking world.

Can storied urn, or animated bust,
Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath?
Can honor’s voice provoke the silent dust.
Or flattery soothe the dull, cold

Full many a gem o f purest ray serene
The dark, uufathomed caves o f ocean bear;
Full many a flower Is born to blush unseen.
And waste Its sweetness on the desert air.
