"Rustic Civility or Coming Events cast their shadows before them" is a notable work by the English poet William Collins, who was a prominent figure in 18th-century literature. Collins, born in 1721, is best known for his lyrical odes and his influence on the Romantic poets who followed him. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Collins' work is celebrated for its emotional depth, innovative use of language, and exploration of themes such as nature, imagination, and the human condition.

"Rustic Civility or Coming Events cast their shadows before them" exemplifies Collins' ability to blend pastoral elements with a keen sense of foreboding and philosophical reflection. The title itself suggests a juxtaposition of the simplicity and politeness often associated with rural life ("Rustic Civility") with the idea that future events can be anticipated through subtle signs ("Coming Events cast their shadows before them"). This duality is a recurring motif in Collins' poetry, where he frequently contrasts the innocence of the natural world with the complexities and uncertainties of human experience.

The poem is characterized by its rich imagery and evocative language, which transport the reader to a serene countryside setting while simultaneously hinting at underlying tensions and impending changes. Collins' mastery of form and meter is evident in the poem's structure, which enhances its thematic resonance and emotional impact.

Despite his relatively short life—Collins died in 1759 at the age of 37—his work has left a lasting legacy in English literature. "Rustic Civility or Coming Events cast their shadows before them" remains a testament to his poetic genius and his ability to capture the delicate balance between tranquility and turmoil in the natural and human realms.
