Archibald Lampman

Archibald Lampman (1861-1899), born in Morpeth in Upper Canada, the son of an Anglican minister, contracted rheumatic fever as a child, which left him lame for four years and with a weakened heart. A graduate of Trinity College in Toronto in 1882, he soon gave up teaching for a junior post in the post office in Ottawa, which he held until his death. From 1892 to 1893, with two other poets, he wrote a column in the Toronto Globe. Elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 1895, exhausted by a canoe trip, he died at thirty-seven, leaving unpublished poems.
