"Empires dissolve and peoples disappear,
Song passes not away."
English poet William Watson died #OTD in 1935.
Watson's early work, like Wordsworth's Grave (1890), demonstrated his deep admiration for the Romantic poets and established him as a significant literary figure. Despite his popularity and influence during his lifetime, his work fell out of favor in the years following his death, and he is less well-known today.
