To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Educated at Eton, where his maternal uncle was a master, and at Peterhouse, Cambridge, Gray afterwards travelled abroad with Horace Walpole. On his return he took his degree in law, and settled at Cambridge, spending his vacations with his mother at Stoke Poges, near Windsor. In 1747 he produced his Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, which, followed by the Hymn to Adversity and the Pindaric Odes, gained him fame. In 1753 his mother died, the epitaph on her tomb being written by him. Owi...ng to an unfortunate experience in youth, Gray had a terrible dread of fire, and kept a rope-ladder outside his rooms at Peterhouse in case of emergency. There is a story that, roused one night by a false alarm, the poet dropped into a tub of water placed there by some madcap students. Piqued at the inadequate punishment meted out to them, Gray migrated to Pembroke Hall, where he lived till his death. In 1757 he declined the Poet Laureate- ship. For several years he studied Scandinavian poetry, producing as the result the Fatal Sisters and the Descent of Odin.
