About George Crabbe

George Crabbe (December 24, 1754 – February 3, 1832) was an English poet, known for his realistic and unsentimental portrayals of peasant life.

Originators like George Crabbe:

In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way.

Secrets with girls, like loaded guns with boys,
Are never valued till they make a noise.

Habit with him was all the test of truth,
It must be right: I’ve done it from my youth.
