Samuel Johnson - The Vanity of Human Wishes

Hi everyone,


How'd you like to be able to look at a dictionary and use the old Star Wars line, "I am your father!"??

I know that's a bit weird, but it's quite a cool thought to me anyway.

Wiki to the rescue again, have a look at the sources for this poem.  Add to your notes.  Samuel Johnson himself is also an interesting read, though Mr. Sir has the most comprehensive one-stop-shop on this poem.

general Google of the poet and the title brings up many options to explore, including Shmoop and eNotes, which I suggest you look up.

Enjoy.
