Edward Rowland Sill, American poet and educator, was born in Windsor, Connecticut. He was a modest and charming man, a graceful essayist, a sure critic. His contribution to American poetry is small but of fine quality. His best poems, such as «The Venus of Milo,» «The Fool's Prayer» and «Opportunity,» gave him a high place among the minor poets of America, which might have been higher but for his early death.
