TO
THE FRIENDS OF TENNYSON
BY
HIS SON
To those who have contributed to this volume their memories of my father,criticisms of his work, or records of his friends, I owe a deep debt ofgratitude. Three of the writers, Henry Butcher, Sir Alfred Lyall, andGraham Dakyns, have lately, to my great loss, passed away—into thatfuller “light of friendship”—
“a clearer day Than our poor twilight dawn on earth.” |
TENNYSON.
[The following chapters about my father are arranged, as far as possible,according to the sequence of his life. Further reminiscences by the Dukeof Argyll, Gladstone, Jowett, Lecky, Locker-Lampson, Palgrave, LordSelborne, Tyndall, Aubrey de Vere, and other friends, will be found inTennyson, a Memoir.]
