Alfred, Lord Tennyson : Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington.

'I tried to read Tennyson?s Ode on the Dook of Wellington (which is the finest lyrical poem in the language in case you don?t know) aloud this morning, and I had a hand at my throat tightening steadily as I read, until I could articulate no more and had to throw the book away. That is one of the experiences in life worth having; so were the Elgin Marbles.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Robert Louis Stevenson      Print: Unknown
