Thomas Gray byl anglický básník, který se proslavil svou klasickou elegancí a hloubkou myšlení. Jeho dílo zkoumá nadčasová témata osamělosti, pomíjivosti a krásy přírody. Grayův styl je známý svou precizností a melodickou kvalitou, což čtenářům nabízí pronikavý pohled do lidské duše. Je považován za klíčovou postavu přechodu mezi osvícenstvím a romantismem.
