“ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD” BY THOMAS GRAY
1750 More than seven years to
write The Elegy Inspired by the death of his
friend Richard West Horace’s First Book of Odes
(twenty-fourth Ode) Descriptions and reflections Universality of themes
(death, obscurity, contentment, etc.)
Idyllic view of country-life (like Virgil's pastoral poetry)
Structure of The elegy:Stanzas 1-11: images of
humble country life Gray's meditation on death
Stanzas 12-21: pompous exequies of the great VS simple funeral of the poor
Stanzas 22-32: supposed death of the author and his tomb's epitaph
The epitaph: themes of transience, obscurity and fame.

Setting
Stoke Poges Memorial dedicated
to the elegy
The poem is set in an cemetery, probably at Stoke Poges, surrounded by the English countryside. It looks like a naked, austere cemetery, far from the description of Foscolo’s one.

FOSCOLO VS GRAY
Vv. 115-119: I Sepolcri
Ma cipressi e cedri
di puri effluvi i zefiri impregnando
perenne verde protendean su l'urne
per memoria perenne, e prezïosi
vasi accogliean le lagrime votive.
Stanza 4: The Elegy
Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,
Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap,
Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,
The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

“Save that from yonder ivy-mantled towerThe moping owl does to the moon complain Of such, as wandering near her secret bower,Molest her ancient solitary reign.”
“Senti raspar fra le macerie e i bronchila derelitta cagna ramingandosu le fosse e famelica ululando;(v 80)e uscir del teschio, ove fuggia la luna,l'úpupa, e svolazzar su per le crocisparse per la funerëa campagnae l'immonda accusar col luttüososingulto i rai di che son pie le stelle(v 85)alle obblïate sepolture”

25. “negò loro la sorte, che represselor colpe insieme a lor virtù”
“.. Fu di gran cuore e di sincera fede; e premio il Cielo gli mandò..”
FOSCOLO crede invece che se un uomo durante la vita ha agito bene, verrà ricordato dai posteri.La vita dei posteri è quindi una continuazione della vita del defunto.Le virtù del morto, non sono sepolte nella tomba, ma grazie agli amici continuano ad esistere nel mondo dei vivi

21. “Pompa e poter, vanto di stirpe eletta, quanto beltà o ricchezza a noi prepara,tutto egualmente l’ultim’ora aspetta:della gloria il sentier mena alla bara23. Urna scolpita, o effige al ver conforme può al frale richiamar l’alma fuggita? può onore stimolar polve che dorme?può l’orecchia di Morte esser blandita?”
C’è in Gray un uguaglianza universale, tutto è destinato allo stesso fine
Anche Foscolo pensa che tutti gli uomini siano accomunati da un destino inevitabile: la morte
