Book Description
Excerpt from The Traveller, the Deserted Village, and Other Poems Dr. Johnson pronounced the traveller to be the finest poem that had appeared since the time of u Pope {and this measured encomium, dictated by the great Aristarch Of British Poets, was probably sufh cient to content the ambition of the author. The Poem exhibits all the terseness, the polished versifi cation, and the smartness of the author of the Essay on Man, whose style was the model of the poetasters of the day: but there is an originality in Goldsmith, which entitles him to rank higher than the highest form in the school of Pope. In his style, he may perhaps be considered-as an mater: his thoughts are always his own, and are impressed with the simplicity of his character.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Deserted Village, And, the Traveller: And Other Poems There were two sets of people who looked upon Oliver Goldsmith the poet, and each saw correctly enough what each was capable of seeing. One saw in him a shiftless, vain, awkward, homely fellow, thrust ing himself into good company, blundering, blurting out nonsense or malapropos sayings, a gooseberry fool. The other, containing men of genius, laughed at poor Goldy, but never failed to seek his com pany and to receive him as' their equal. When Burke was told of his death, he burst into tears. Reynolds was painting When the news was brought to him; he laid his pencil aside and would not go back that day to his studio, a sign of grief never shown in times of deep family distress. Johnson never ceased to mourn him, and cast his profoundest conviction of the poet's genius into the monumental lines which form one of the noblest of elegies.
