JONES, EBENEZER (182o-186o) , See also:British poet, was See also:born in See also:Islington, See also:London, on the loth of See also:January 182o. His See also:father, who was of Welsh extraction, was a strict Calvinist, and Ebenezer was educated at a dull, See also:middle-class school. The See also:death of his father obliged him to become a clerk in the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of a See also:tea See also:merchant. See also:Shelley and See also:Carlyle were his spiritual masters, and he spent all his spare See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time in See also:reading and See also:writing; but he See also:developed an exaggerated See also:style of thought and expression, due partly to a defective See also:education. The unkind reception of his Studies of Sensation and Event (1843) seemed to be the last drop in his See also:bitter See also:cup of See also:life. Baffled and disheartened, he destroyed his See also:manuscripts. He earned his living as an accountant and by See also:literary hack See also:work, and it was not until he was rapidly dying of See also:consumption that he wrote his three remarkable poems, " See also:Winter Hymn to the See also:Snow," " When the See also:World is Burning" and "To Death." The fame that these and some of the pieces in the See also:early See also:volume brought to their author came too See also:late. He died on the 14th of See also:September 186o.
It was not till 187o that See also:Dante See also:Gabriel See also:Rossetti praised his work in Notes and Queries. Rossetti's example was followed by W. B. See also:Scott, See also:Theodore See also:Watts-See also:Dunton, who contributed some papers on the subject to the See also:Athenaeum (September and See also:October 1878), and R. H. See also:Sheppard, who edited Studies of Sensation and Event in 1879.
