Who wrote 'Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise'?

Thomas Gray

Explanation:

The English poet Thosmas Gray wrote "Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to wise", and this line is found in "Ode On a Distant Prospect Of Eton College". With this statement, he was not by any means talking against wisdom or knowlwdge, nor advocating ignorance, as many people interpreted it to be; he was just expressing a wish for a time he cherished because it didn't demand so much erudition.
