Erik Sjöberg (poet)
Erik Sjöberg (January 14, 1794 - March 4, 1828) was a Swedish poet. He wrote under the pseudonym ''Vitalis'' (which roughly means "life is a battle" in Latin). Although he grew up in poor circumstances he studied at Uppsala University and got a Master of Arts degree. He mostly worked as private tutor while he was writing. His poetry was characterized by the ideals of romanticism, i.e. melancholy and spiritual ecstasy, but he also wrote many comical and satirical poems. Among his most widely known poems are ''Enslingens sång i den stora öknen'' ("The lonely man's song in the great desert") and ''Komiska fantasier'' ("Comical fantasies"). He is also represented in the 1986 official hymnbook of the Church of Sweden, with one hymn (no. 573). Sjöberg made translations of Thomas Moore and Washington Irving.
