This research paper: A 4 page essay that, first of all, summarizes and analyzes this poem by A.E. Housman. "To An Athlete Dying Young" offers an interesting perspective on a life cut short by tragedy. It begins by picturing the most glorious moment of a young man's life, as a crowd cheers him as their hero, having just won a great race. Then, the poet argues that due to the fleeting nature of fame and glory, the lad is fortunate to have his life end at its apex, rather than suffer through a slow decline in which he witnesses his youthful glory fade. Then, the writer discusses how Housman might have perceived the death of Gatsby in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
