Samuel Johnson from The Vanity of Human Wishes from The Vanity of Human Wishes Let observation with extensive view, Survey mankind, from China to Peru; Remark each anxious toil, each eager strife, And watch the busy scenes of crowded life; Then say how hope and fear, desire and hate, 5 O'erspread with snares the clouded maze of fate, Where wav'ring man, betrayed by vent'rous* pride, To tread the dreary paths without a guide, As treach'rous phantoms in the mist delude, Shuns fancied ills, or chases airy good; 10 How rarly reason guides the stubborn choice, Rules the bold hand, or prompts the suppliant voice; How nations sink, by darling schemes oppressed, When vengeance listens to the fool's request. Fate wings with every wish th' afflictive dart, 15 Each gift of nature, and each grace of art, With fatal heat impetuous courage glows, With fatal sweetness elocution flows, Impeachment stops the speaker's powerful breath, And restless fire precipitates on death. 20 (II, 1-20) The Vanity of Human Wishes 7 vent'rous: venturous Back to Index Page Mitsuru Watanabe

Samuel Johnson Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784), often referred to simply as "Dr Johnson", was one of England's greatest literary figures. Although best remembered as the compiler of the first comprehensive English dictionary, Dr Johnson was more than a scholar. Born at Lichfield and educated at Oxford, he moved to London in 1737 with his wife, Tetty, who was twenty years his senior, and began to earn a living as a journalist, whilst working on plays, poetry and biographies. Johnson began his Dictionary of the English Language in 1747, but did not complete it until 1755. It made his name, but not his fortune. Another of his major works, the satire Rasselas (1759), was written specifically to raise money to pay for his mother's funeral. Johnson was at the centre of a literary circle which included such figures as Oliver Goldsmith, Edmund Burke and David Garrick, and founded the Literary Club. In 1763, a young Scottish writer, James Boswell , introduced himself to Johnson. Together they toured the Western Isles of Scotland in 1773, a journey which Johnson immortalised in print. Dr Johnson's last great work was the ten-volume Lives of the English Poets , published between 1779 and 1781. He died in 1784 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. [

Birthplace Lichfield, England Education Briefly went to Pembroke College Oxford University, but left without a degree for financial reasons. Other jobs Did you know? Johnson suffered from bouts of extreme depression, characterised by Boswell as "a horrible hypochondria... dejection, gloom, and despair" which left him with chronic tics, possibly Tourette's Syndrome. Critical verdict Strikingly clever, startlingly ugly and indefatigably hard-working, Johnson produced his first poem at three, on "good master Duck". Like Wilde, he often gets remembered for his quotability rather than works, thanks to Boswell's biography (in fact largely reconstructed from memory). With his Lives of the Poets, edition of Shakespeare and periodical essays he advanced criticism, biography and journalism; Rasselas, written to pay for his mother's funeral, is a no-word-wasted search for human fulfilment which ends with a "conclusion, in which nothing is concluded". His great work, the Dictionary - which defines lexicographer as "a harmless drudge" - was written over nine years in one room with borrowed books and six copyists.
