The enduring qualities of his writings and of the man himself are the same - the simple charm of the essays from Citizen of the World, the tenderness of The Vicar of Wakefield, the compassion of The Deserted Village and other poems, the hilarity of She Stoops to Conquer. An indifferent student in his youth, of law, of medicine, and pedagogy, he became an honor graduate of the school of human weakness and suffering - for which the eighteenth century provided ample classrooms. When he finally turned to literature, his experiences were not expressed with the satirist's biting ridicule but with the genuine warmth, humanity, and humor which have made him a beloved friend of generations of readers. colorado springs craft, horror ,goth, gifts, oddity, oddities, halloween, statement jewelry, feminist, feminist jewelry, f*ck the patriarchy, rave, candy, plur, lolita, pastel, Kawaii, Gore, Vamp, Witch, upcycle, recycle, dotd, day of the dead, Muerte
