The Great Silence (1968)

How would you write this in your own wordes?

After World War II, Graves returned to Majorca, where he lived with Hodge and continued to write. By the 1950’s, Graves had won an enormous international reputation as a poet, novelist, literary scholar, and translator. In 1962, W. H. Auden went as far as to assert that Graves was England’s “greatest living poet.” In 1968 he received the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry. During his lifetime he published more than 140 books, including fifty-five collections of poetry (he reworked his Collected Poems repeatedly during his career), fifteen novels, ten translations, and forty works of nonfiction, autobiography, and literary essays. From 1961 to 1966, Graves returned to England to serve as a professor of poetry at Oxford. In the 1970s his productivity fell off; and the last decade of his life was lost in silence and senility. Robert Graves died in Majorca in 1985, at the age of ninety.

Following World War II, Robert Graves continued writing at his home in Majorca, which he shared with Hodge. He was a prolific writer and his efforts catapaulted him to international acclaim as a poet, novelist, literary scholar and translator in the 1950s. From 1961 to 1966 he returned to England, working as a Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, going on to receive the Queen’s Gold Medal for poetry in 1968 (the height of his career).

By 1970 however, this prolific writer (whose achievements included over 140 books, fifteen novels, ten translations, autobiography, literary essays, forty works of non-fiction and fifty-five collections of poetry) gradually ceased his works and relentless productivity – with his final decade of life succumbing to a silence and senility. Graves died age 90 in Majorca in 1985 and in the words of W.H. Auden in 1962 was Englands “greatest living poet”.
