Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tennyson for the Young
Too deep or too subtle for the young, and to need, more than most of its companions, the interpreting aid of riper years and 'the graver mind.' This is so, and yet there are other qualities in such a poem, appealing to the ear and heart of even the youngest, and it is of primary importance that these qualities should become early familiar. The witchery of con summate verse - lyrical or descriptive - its exquisite music, may so early fill and possess the ear of the young (so the Editor's experience has taught him) that a standard of judgment is insensibly formed, effectually preventing the taste being ever afterwards allured by what is vulgar and garish, or the ear being ever fas cinated by some clever poetical diction which yet is not Poetry.
