Stanislovas Dagilis
Biography
Stanislovas Dagilis (17 March 1843 – 19 December 1915) was a Lithuanian poet and teacher. He is best known as publisher of four issues of Lietuviškas šiupinys, a collection of translated poetry, in 1884–1910. Born to a family of serfs, Dagilis attended gymnasiums in Kėdainiai and Slutsk maintained by the Lithuanian Evangelical Reformed Church. He graduated from the Saint Petersburg Historical and Philological Institute which prepared teachers for Russian gymnasiums. For 21 years, until 1894, Dagilis taught classical languages at a gymnasium in Sumy (present-day Ukraine). Despite the long distance and isolation from other Lithuanian activists, Dagilis joined the Lithuanian National Revival. He contributed articles on Lithuanian topics to Russian press, joined the Lithuanian Literary Society, wrote and translated poetry (most notably the narrative poem Konrad Wallenrod by Adam Mickiewicz). After retiring from teaching, he returned to Lithuania and continued to be active in Lithuanian cultural life. He supported and mentored local youth, collected samples of Lithuanian folk songs, published edited hymnal for the Evangelical Reformed Church in 1910. He died of cancer in 1915.
