==== All his life, Jonathan was just a man who wanted to express his ideals and passion with stories and poetry. Although he was more known for his novels like Gulliver’s Travels, A Modest Proposal, etc. His mastery in two types of satire: the Juvenalian and Horatian styles also helped his literature achieve legend. Being born in Ireland, it was quite obvious that his greatest audience would be his home country. That did not stop his literature from spreading all over the world. As being a talented poet, he often always thought of his audience to be hard to please and harsh critics. It’s most common for all famous poets to put belief in this, as Swift did. Swift’s poems did leave a mark the history of literature. The total of his known published poems, is the number of 104. Jonathan Swift’s legacy still continued after his death, such as John Ruskin naming Swift as one of the three people in history who were most influential to him. Also the Swift Crater on Mar’s moon Diemos, which was named after the man himself since he predicted the existence of the moons of Mars. Swift had a very good sense of passion, especially for his poetic arts. He gave his readers his passion and has inspired many to write our their own desires. He often exploited in the art of human thoughts and gave everyone an idea of how complex and intriguing they really were. ====
