Edward Lear

Edward Lear (Holloway, Middlesex, 1812ko maiatzaren 12a - Sanremo, 1888ko urtarrilaren 29a) ingeles artista, ilustratzaile, musikari, egile eta olerkaria izan zen. Artista bezala, nagusiki, bere hegaztien marrazkiengatik, bidaietako ilustrazioengatik eta Alfred Tennysonen olerkietako bere ilustrazioengatik ezagutzen da. Egile gisa, zentzurik gabeko literaturagatik oroitzen da. Grezia, Egipto, India eta Zeilanetik bidaiatu zuen. 1842tik 1846ra Italiako monumentuak ilustratu zituen.

Limerick ezagun egin zuen.
There was a Young Person of Smyrna
Whose grandmother threatened to burn her.
 But she seized on the cat,
 and said 'Granny, burn that!
You incongruous old woman of Smyrna!'
