Quotes
- “Youth calls for Pleasure, Pleasure calls for Love.”

- “O'er yonder eastern hill the twilight paleWalks forth from darkness; and the God of day,With bright Astraea seated by his side,Waits yet to leave the ocean.”
- “The man forget not, though in rags he lies,And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.”

Mark Akenside (Newcastle upon Tyne, 9 novembre 1721 – Londra, 23 giugno 1770) è stato un poeta e medico inglese. Dedicatosi alla poesia fin da giovane, la sua fama è legata al poema I piaceri dell'Immaginazione (The Pleasures of Imagination, 1744), un dittico in tre libri che riprende temi di Joseph Addison e Anthony Ashley Cooper, III conte di Shaftesbury. Il poema fu tradotto in italiano nel 1764 da Angelo Mazza. Akenside contribuì alla nascita del gusto neoclassico di ispirazione greca e anticipò temi e forme della prima generazione romantica.
