Sumario:An essay is presented on the morphology of poetic diction of poet Thomas Gray. It examines the attitudes of Gray towards the concept and looks at the motif of his early poems. It underscores the situation of Gray's poetry after his death and examines how the concept has survived and used by any other poets.
