There was an old person of Bromley, Whose ways were not cheerful or comely; He sat in the dust, Eating spiders and crust, That unpleasing old person of Bromley.
Edward Lear (1812 –1888) was an English artist, illustrator, author and poet. But he is best known today for his literary nonsense in poetry and prose and especially his limericks - a form that he popularised.
‘I really don't know any author to whom I am half so grateful for my idle self as Edward Lear. I shall put him first of my hundred authors.’ John Ruskin in the "List of the Best Hundred Authors."
