About James Beattie

Professor James Beattie (October 25, 1735 – August 18, 1803) was a Scottish scholar and writer.

Originators like James Beattie:

But when shall spring visit the mouldering urn?
Oh when shall it dawn on the night of the grave?

What is a law, if those who make it
Become the forwardest to break it?

To the pure soul by Fancy's fire refined,
Ah, what is mirth but turbulence unholy,
When with the charm compared of heavenly melancholy.
