Born on 30 November 1667, Irish author, clergyman and satirist Jonathan Swift grew up fatherless. Under the care of his uncle, he received a bachelor's degree from Trinity College and then worked as a statesman's assistant. Eventually, he became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Most of his writings were published under pseudonyms. He is best remembered for his satirical novel Gulliver's Travels (1726). Read here.

SEPTEMBER


"Departing summer hath assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade 
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling."

William Wordsworth,  September
