Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 4, 1792 - July 8, 1822
Birthday: August 4
Death: July 8
Mild is the slow necessity of death; The tranquil spirit fails beneath its grasp, Without a groan, almost without a fear, Resigned in peace to the necessity; Calm as a voyager to some distant land, And full of wonder, full of hope as he.
