time was See also:Robert See also:Buchanan, the poet; and in May 186o the two agreed to proceed to See also:London, with the See also:idea of finding See also:literary employment. Shortly after his arrival in London Gray introduced himself to Monckton 1klilnes, after-wards See also:Lord See also:Houghton, with whom he had previously corresponded. Lord Houghton tried to persuade him to return to See also:Scotland, but Gray insisted on staying in London. He was unsuccessful in his efforts to See also:place Gray's poem, " The Luggie," in The Cornhill See also:Magazine, but gave him some See also:light literary See also:work. He also showed him See also:great kindness when a See also:cold which had seized him assumed the serious See also:form of See also:consumption, and sent him to See also:Torquay; but as the disease made rapid progress, an irresistible longing seized Gray to return to Merkland, where he arrived in January 186r, and died on the 3rd of See also:December following, having the See also:day before had the gratification of seeing a printed specimen copy of his poem " The Luggie," published eventually by the exertions of See also:Sydney See also:Dobell. He was buried in the Auld See also:Aisle See also:Churchyard, See also:Kirkintilloch, where in 1865 a See also:monument was erected by " See also:friends far and near " to his memory.
" The Luggie," the See also:principal poem of Gray, is a See also:kind of See also:reverie in which the scenes and events of his childhood and his See also:early aspirations are mingled with the See also:music of the stream which he celebrates. The See also:series of sonnets, " In the Shadows," was composed during the latter See also:part of his illness. Most of his poems necessarily See also:bear traces of immaturity, and lines may frequently be found in them which are See also:mere echoes from See also:Thomson, Words-See also:worth or See also:Tennyson, but they possess, nevertheless, distinct individuality, and show a real appreciation of natural beauty.
