Edward Young Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: July 3, 1683 - April 5, 1765
Birthday: July 3
Death: April 5
This is the bud of being, the dim dawn, The twilight of our day, the vestibule; Life's theatre as yet is shut, and death, Strong death, alone can heave the massy bar, This gross impediment of clay remove, And make us embryos of existence free.
