And what had the Duke of Argyll written on these themes some years before 1844? The late Duke, to whom Mr Harrison refers in this connection, was born in 1823. His philosophic ideas, if they were to influence Tennyson's In Memoriam, must have been set forth by him at the tender age of seventeen, or thereabouts. The dates answer Mr Harrison.
The Princess, In Memoriam, and Maud. Tennyson had produced only short poems in his 1842 volumes, but his next three efforts, The Princess , In Memoriam , and Maud , are of considerable length. The Princess: A Medley, as Tennyson rightly called it, contains 3223 lines of blank verse.
As well speak of spending an afternoon with Egypt or making an evening call upon Rome. Yet a volume of "In Memoriam" or "The Idylls of the King" enables one to overhear the richest and most masterly thoughts that occupied Tennyson through the best creative years in his career.
Other monuments of the mutiny exist, notably the Memorial Church, a splendid Lombard-Gothic structure erected in memoriam of those who fell in the mutiny here. The church is full of tablets commemorating the death of distinguished people, and the stained-glass windows are covered with the names of the victims of Nana Sahib's treachery, and of those who fell in action.
Eundem igitur esse creditote, etiam si nullum videbitis. 80 Nec vero clarorum virorum post mortem honores permanerent, si nihil eorum ipsorum animi efficerent, quo diutius memoriam sui teneremus.
The impression produced by most things in this world is relative to the minds on which the impression is produced. A coarse ballad, deficient in rhyme and rhythm, and only half decent, will keep up the attention of a rustic group to whom you might read from "In Memoriam" in vain.
The year Eighteen Hundred Fifty, when he was forty-one, has been called his "golden year," for in it occurred the publication of "In Memoriam," his appointment to the post of Poet Laureate, and his marriage. Emily Sellwood had waited for him all these years.
If God is working through evolution, we must admit that he has marvellously hidden himself, and agree with the poet that he does "move in a mysterious way his wonders to perform." The writer in the Christian World borrows an image from the puling scepticism of "In Memoriam," which describes man as "An infant crying in the night, And with no language but a cry."
In 1855 Oxford honored him by bestowing on him the degree of D.C.L. The students gave him an ovation and they properly honored his greatest poem, In Memoriam by mentioning it first in their loud calls; but they also paid their respects to his May Queen, asking in chorus: "Did they wake and call you early, call you early, Alfred dear?" The rest of his life was outwardly uneventful.
So far has the opinion of orthodox conservative Hinduism progressed with reference to its fundamental social feature, caste. "Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul according well, May make one music as before." TENNYSON, In Memoriam.
