Some not bad judges in the forties ranked Darley with Tennyson in poetic possibilities, and thought the former the more promising of the two. Except Donne, there is perhaps no English poet more difficult to write about, so as to preserve the due pitch of enthusiasm on the one hand and criticism on the other, than Thomas Lovell Beddoes, born at Clifton on 20th July 1803.
For years the Archbishop of Trebizond, the ejected heir to the See of Westminster, laboured as a parish priest in the Isle of Man. He nursed no resentment in his heart, and, after a long and edifying life of peace and silence, he died in 1886, a professor of theology at Clifton. It might be supposed that Manning could now feel that his triumph was complete.
And at her daughter's kiss, she added grimly: "I shall live to see him in the saddle yet, though I am seventy-eight." When the sound of her daughter's car had died away, she rang the bell. "If Lady Valleys rings up, Clifton, don't take the message, but call me." And seeing that Clifton did not move she added sharply: "Well?" "There is no bad news of his young lordship's health, I hope?" "No."
Yes, madam, I must warn you that the passions of Mr. Clifton are, in my opinion, much more alarming than the resentment of your father. But they are alarming only to myself. And ought danger to deter me? Not if the good you design be practicable. And what is impracticable, where the will is resolved? Perhaps nothing But the effort must be great, must be uncommon.
It is now four days since I saw your brother. Lulled to security by the peaceable manner in which I had submitted to confinement, and imagining Laura to be still in the interest of Mr. Clifton, though this silly girl is now a very sincere penitent, the old woman began to indulge her in still greater liberties.
A detachment of about 100 sharp-shooters, mainly from Companies B and G of the 75th New York, under Lieutenants Root and Cox, was then sent aboard the Clifton, and to the Sachem an officer and 25 men from the 161st New York.
My head-achs disqualify me for long or consistent thinking; and nothing I believe but habit keeps me from being half an idiot. One thing however I cannot forget; which is, that I am your mother, Clifton; and that I have the most ardent and unremitting desire to see you a virtuous and a happy man. In which hope my blessing and love are most sincerely yours.
However as in a certain sense all is doubtful which is yet to be done, perhaps strict prudence would demand that Sir Arthur should not be led to hope till success is ascertained; of which I will not delay a moment to send you information. I am, &c. Coke Clifton to Guy Fairfax London, Dover Street The moment, Fairfax, the trying, the great, the glorious moment approaches.

Indeed I and Mr. Henley have several times met him there: for you may well imagine, madam, we are not the least attentive of Mr. Clifton's visitors. It is at present the sole study of Mr.
The sun shone on the water, brightening its yellowish swirl, and little black eddies the same water that had flowed along under the willows past Eynsham, past Oxford, under the church at Clifton, past Moulsford, past Sonning. And he thought: 'My God! To have her to myself one day on the river one whole long day! Why had he been so pusillanimous all this time? He passed his hand over his face.
