Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish cleric and Dean of St. Patrick&#8217;s Cathedral in Dublin, whose bright blue eyes were commented upon by his close friend Alexander Pope for their &#8220;archness.&#8221; Although the act of writing was in some respects moonlighting for him, Swift became one of the most delectably scathing satirists and enduring moral voices of his or any age. He is best remembered for the dizzying, indelible satirical adventure novel, Gulliver&#8217;s Travels. Although Swift&#8217;s parents were English, he himself was born and would be laid to rest eternally in the city of Dublin.
