Vignette Seven: Growing Old, by Matthew Arnold

What this episode covers

Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) was a British poet, educator and literary critic. He was professor of poetry at Oxford from 1857 to 1867. His poetry was famed for its sparing lucidity and approachable, direct style, as in this bleak but evocative poem “Growing Old,” a meditation on mortality and the cold comfort of legacy.
