| | David Gray (poet) Summary |
 | | Gray scarcely achieved an authentic individual note in the brief time allotted him; his diction is too often artificial, as it is in the worst of his models, and his tone is too often maudlin. |
 | | But Gray was impetuous and convinced of his destiny; and in early 1860, when his stint as a student-teacher ended, he resolved to seek his literary fortune in London. |
 | | David Gray (January 29, 1838 - December 3, 1861), Scottish poet, the son of a handloom weaver, was born at Merkland, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland. |
