Pavao Štoos (December 10, 1806 – March 30, 1862) was a Croatian poet, priest and a revivalist After graduating theology in Zagreb, he served as a bishop's secretary for a brief period, and from 1842 he was a pastor of the Pokupsko parish. Štoos is a notable person among Croatian patriots; as the author of a well-known elegy ''Kip domovine vu početku leta 1831'', collaborator of Ljudevit Gaj's Danica, he clearly articulated his concerns over the foreign oppression and the de-nationalisation of the common people (''vre i svoj jezik zabit Horvati hote ter drugi narod postati''). Štoos pessimistically observes contemporary political and cultural movements, seeing the country as if trapped in the darkness of a dungeon (''srce od plača ne mrem zdržati''). Besides the literature, he was also engaged in music and has published in 1858 ''Kitice srkvenih pjesama s napjevima''. He is the author of the song "Poziv u kolo ilirsko". In 1862 he was appointed as a Zagreb canon, but he died before he managed to officially receive the title. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pavao Štoos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
