Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Shadows It is remarkable how often Poetry and Consumption have gone together. Is there some unsuspected connection, one feels tempted to ask, between the bacillus tuberculosis and the cupido carmina scribendi? The question is not without interest. Not a few poets "whom the gods love" have died young. But among all those cut off in early life the figure of David Gray, author of The Luggie and other Poems, seems to me to stand pathetically alone. Bacillus tuberculosis is usually a deceptive guest. But in David Gray, spes phthisica was notably absent. Gray´s poems are inseparably connected with his life. The son of a poor handloom weaver, he was born near Kirkintilloch in 1838, and died at the age of twenty-three.
