The last one: who assisted his suicide but was not convicted of any crime. Thank you for your attention. That was why he lived so short, tuberculosis must be terrible disease in these times, remember John Keats? He died also of tuberculosis. at a very young age
What I cite from his Bio here: During a massive and (probably fatal) haemorrhage caused by tuberculosis, Adams shot himself at a boarding house in Margate. He had long carried a pistol for this purpose. He was survived by his second wife, Edith (née Goldstone) ,
How his life ended very tragically, just read what I cite here, thank you beforehand:
THREE: but Adams perceived, as few did in those times, the depth of poverty and misery of a large part of the British nation, in an age before the introduction of unemployment insurance and old-age pensions
TWO: At a time when London Dock labourers worked for four-pence an hour he could not help but raise his voice, and the rhetoric of his At the West India Docks echoed throughout the world of labour. Some of his verses provoked resentment in Conservative circles; .
ONE: the reputation of these poems ascends from their engagement with social issues, rather than their value as pure poetry for Adams was deeply sympathetic towards downtrodden races and men.
To give more specific features upon how the late poet in his life was, some words I cite here from his Bio
Congratulations being chosen as The Classic Poem Of The Day, this is for his family who are still alive in 2023. Most deserving. Top Marks!
He wrote many many poems in his short life. This is true amazing, he had done so many things from a social view., not only in his leterature world
A poignant rendition set aside forth sober reflection. An insightful work of art. Thanks for sharing.,
Art is hard, The artist suffers, mostly alone. The best ones, and most, die poor and without fair recognition until post humous.
As if art should not participate in redistribution & only exist once we're all in heaven. I think he was a radical materialist socialist, yet still a believer in the afterlife.
The greatest art man can ever see is nature. The greatest Artist -God made everything in a unique way. I love art and thus the poem.
Materialistic man's pursuits have killed beauty in Nature and Art by destroying all natural things of best and beautiful in the world! Ugliness now due to pollution by advanced technology is raising its head everywhere plunging the world in oblivion like autumn season and winter gloom too will follow before spring of new hope of Art will come later after realisation dawn on man of those precious gems man cannot ignore ever...!
For, with her reawakening year, Be sure she will return! — She will return yes she must return to her love; beautiful to read the poem
