Surgite convalles, tumidi subsidite montes! Sternite saxa viam, rapidi discedite fluctus: En! quem turba diu cecinerunt enthea, vates En! salvator adest; vultus agnoscite cseci Divinos, surdos sacra vox permulceat aures. Hie cutim spissam visus hebetare vetabit, Keclusisque oculis infundet amabile lumen; Obstrictasque diu linguas in carmina solvet. Hie vias vocis pandet, flexusque liquentis Harmonise purgata novos mirabitur auris. Accrescunt teneris tactu nova robora nervis: Consuetus fulcro innixus reptare bacilli Nunc saltu capreas, nunc cursu provocat euros. Non planctus, non moesta sonant suspiria; pectus Singultans mulcet, lachrymantes tergit ocellos. Vincla coercebunt luctantem adamantina mortem, ternoque Orci dominator vumere languens Invalidi raptos sceptri plorabit honores. Ut qua dulce strepent scatebrse, qua lata virescunt Pascua, qua blandum spirat purissimus aer, Pastor agit pecudes, teneros raodo suscipit agnos Et gremio fotis selectas porrigit herbas, Amissas modo quawit oves, revocatque vagantes; Fidus adest custos, sen nox furat horrida nimbis, Sive dies medius morientia torreat arva. Postera sic pastor divinus secla beabit, Et curas fellx petrias testabitiir orbis. Non ultra infestis concurrent agmina signis, Hostiles oculis flammas jaculantia torvis; Non litui accendent bellum, non campus ahenis Triste coruscabit radiis; dabit hast a recusa Vomerem, et in falcem rigidus curvabitur ensis. Atria, pacis opus, surgent, finemque caduci Natus ad optatum perducet csepta parentis. Qui duxit sulcos, illi teret area messem, Si serse texent v...

O avtorju (2012)

As Samuel Johnson said in his famous epitaph on his Irish-born and educated friend, Goldsmith ornamented whatever he touched with his pen. A professional writer who died in his prime, Goldsmith wrote the best comedy of his day, She Stoops to Conquer (1773). Amongst a plethora of other fine works, he also wrote The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), which, despite major plot inconsistencies and the intrusion of poems, essays, tales, and lectures apparently foreign to its central concerns, remains one of the most engaging fictional works in English. One reason for its appeal is the character of the narrator, Dr. Primrose, who is at once a slightly absurd pedant, an impatient traditional father of teenagers, a Job-like figure heroically facing life's blows, and an alertly curious, helpful, loving person. Another reason is Goldsmith's own mixture of delight and amused condescension (analogous to, though not identical with, Laurence Sterne's in Tristram Shandy and Johnson's in Rasselas, both contemporaneous) as he looks at the vicar and his domestic group, fit representatives of a ludicrous but workable world. Never married and always facing financial problems, he died in London and was buried in Temple Churchyard.
