Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Memoriam; The Princess; Maud
The distance takes a living hue, And drown'd in yonder livelier blue. I have done my best to make the record of the variants exhaustive, and also to fix the exact dates of each. But to fix the exact dates has not been possible in some cases, for the simple reason that all the innumerable editions of the three poems have not been accessible to me. All I could do was to collate the editions obtainable in the British Museum and in other public libraries, or borrowed from friends, or inspected through the courtesy of in numerable booksellers, - to whom sincere thanks for that courtesy are due, - and all this I have done with more labour and expenditure of time than one cares to remember.
