Samuel Johnson\u2019s portrait by James Barry.<\/p><\/div>\n

From James Boswell\u2019s <\/em>Life of Samuel Johnson. Johnson was born on September 18, 1709; Boswell wrote this passage in 1777, on the occasion of Johnson\u2019s sixty-eighth birthday.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thursday, September 18. Last night Dr. Johnson had proposed that the crystal lustre, or chandelier, in Dr. Taylor\u2019s large room, should be lighted up some time or other. Taylor said, it should be lighted up next night. \u2018That will do very well, (said I,) for it is Dr. Johnson\u2019s birth-day.\u2019 When we were in the Isle of Sky, Johnson had desired me not to mention his birth-day. He did not seem pleased at this time that I mentioned it, and said (somewhat sternly,) \u2018he would not have the lustre lighted the next day.\u2019<\/p>\n

Some ladies, who had been present yesterday when I mentioned his birth-day, came to dinner to-day, and plagued him unintentionally, by wishing him joy. I know not why he disliked having his birth-day mentioned, unless it were that it reminded him of his approaching nearer to death, of which he had a constant dread.<\/p>\n

I mentioned to him a friend of mine who was formerly gloomy from low spirits, and much distressed by the fear of death, but was now uniformly placid, and contemplated his dissolution without any perturbation. \u2018Sir, (said Johnson,) this is only a disordered imagination taking a different turn.\u2019<\/p>\n

He observed, that a gentleman of eminence in literature had got into a bad style of poetry of late. \u2018He puts (said he,) a very common thing in a strange dress till he does not know it himself, and thinks other people do not know it.\u2019 BOSWELL. \u2018That is owing to his being so much versant in old English poetry.\u2019 JOHNSON. \u2018What is that to the purpose, Sir? If I say a man is drunk, and you tell me it is owing to his taking much drink, the matter is not mended. No, Sir, \u2014\u2014\u2014 has taken to an odd mode. For example, he\u2019d write thus:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHermit hoar, in solemn cell,
Wearing out life\u2019s evening gray.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gray evening is common enough; but evening gray he\u2019d think fine.\u2014Stay;\u2014we\u2019ll make out the stanza:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHermit hoar, in solemn cell,
Wearing out life\u2019s evening gray;
Smite thy bosom, sage, and tell,
What is bliss? and which the way?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

BOSWELL. \u2018But why smite his bosom, Sir?\u2019 JOHNSON. \u2018Why, to shew he was in earnest,\u2019 (smiling.)\u2014He at an after period added the following stanza:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018Thus I spoke; and speaking sigh\u2019d;
\u2014Scarce repress\u2019d the starting tear;\u2014
When the smiling sage reply\u2019d\u2014
\u2014Come, my lad, and drink some beer.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I cannot help thinking the first stanza very good solemn poetry, as also the three first lines of the second. Its last line is an excellent burlesque surprise on gloomy sentimental enquirers. And, perhaps, the advice is as good as can be given to a low-spirited dissatisfied being:\u2014\u2018Don\u2019t trouble your head with sickly thinking: take a cup, and be merry.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
