Quote of the Day/ Zitat des Tages #110 ENG/DEU

Wasted time is existence. Used time is life.
Edward Young

Edward Young was an English poet.
Born the son of a clergyman, Young studied at Oxford. His poems only met with greater approval when he entered the status of a clergyman in London. A poem of praise written by him for King George II received a position as court chaplain. Two years later, however, he resigned this position.
The money he had received for some of the satires he had written he lost in a so-called South Sea swindle.
His reflections on death and immortality, which he wrote after the death of his wife, received great encouragement from the educated Europe

Verschwendete Zeit ist Dasein. Gebrauchte Zeit ist Leben.
Edward Young

Edward Young war ein englischer Dichter.
Der als Sohn eines Geistlichen geborene Young studierte in Oxford. Seine Gedichte fanden erst größere Zustimmung, als er in London in den Stand eines Geistlichen trat. Ein von ihm verfasstes Lobgedicht auf König Georg II. eine Stelle als Hofkaplan erhielt. Zwei Jahre später legte er diese Stelle jedoch wieder nieder.
Das Geld, welches er für einige von ihm geschriebenen Satiren erhalten hatte, verlor er bei einem sogenannten Südseeschwindel.
Seine Betrachtungen über Tod und Unsterblichkeit, die er nach dem Tod seiner Frau schrieb, erhielten grossen Zuspruch des gebildeten Europas.
