Reading Experience:
Evidence:
'I have been longing to be back among you all, and feeling very lonely this afternoon. Since then I have been reading Tennyson's splendid "Ode to the Duke of Wellington," and his "Revenge," and "Riflemen Form," and Kipling's "Children's Song," and Newbolt's "Clifton Chapel," "He Fell Among Thieves," "Vitae Lampada," and "The Vigil." These splendid poems have roused me and brought back my work and my duty, and I am glad, yes very glad, that I have chosen this life—and am living out here on our frontier.'
