Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems of Tennyson
Studies in Tennyson, written at different times, and now revised, enlarged, and reprinted. The doing of this revision has been a curious experience. I find that the youthful enthusiasm of my first pas sion for his work has cooled a little, so that some of the expressions of it need to be moderated. But my conviction of his lofty rank as a poet has not changed except to grow stronger. And the impres sion of his personality, so large and noble, so manly, strong, and free, so vigorously alive to all the manifold aspects of human life, so firm in his loyalties and liberal in his sympathies, so great a lover of nature, humanity, and God, -that vivid impression has. Not faded but deepened, since last I saw him in those late summer days at Aldworth, twenty-seven years ago.
In the long interval what vast mutations have passed upon the surface of earthly things!
What hideous warfare hath been waged, What kingdoms overthrown!
