Tennyson's power there was a hush and a reverent awe, a sense of the mystery, the infinitude, the awfulness, as well as of the mere beauty of wayside things, which invested these poems as wholes with a peculiar richness, depth, and majesty of tone, beside which both Keats's and Wordsworth's methods of handling pastoral subjects looked like the colouring of Julio Romano or Watteau by the side of Correggio or Titian.
It abounds, too, in isolated pictures of surpassing vividness and grace word-pictures which live in the "memory of the eye" with all the wholeness and tenacity of an actual painting. Geraldine appearing to Christabel beneath the oak, and the two women stepping lightly across the hall "that echoes still, pass as lightly as you will," are pictures of this kind; and nowhere out of Keats's Eve of St.
This was so successful that in this manner Mary related the stories of most of Shakespeare's plays; of Byron's Bride of Abydos, and Corsair; of Keats's Lamia; of Tennyson's Idylls; and of a heterogenous collection of poetry and romance, in all of which stories the old man took a vivid interest. 'You are better to me than the sunshine, he told Mary one day when she was leaving him.
Agnes and the later narratives are a part of the general beauty of the poems; but even there they are made, as it were, to match the furniture. It is the same in all his best poems. Keats's imagination lived in castles, and he loved the properties, and the men and women were among the properties.
The circumstances of the closing scene of poor Keats's life were 60 not made known to me until the Elegy was ready for the press.
HE Shakspeare's, Milton's, Keats's, Scott's native bard! Well, woe be to the man who denies the public gods! The truth is, then, that Athens is a disappointment; and I am angry that it should be so.
It is no part of my belief that Keats's fame was long delayed by it, or Wordsworth's, or Browning's.
I wish those who excel me in genius would pursue the same plan. 'Whether you remain in England, or journey to Italy, believe that you carry with you my anxious wishes for your health and success wherever you are, or whatever you undertake and that I am 'Yours sincerely, Keats's reply to Shelley ran as follows: 'Hampstead August 10, 1820.
The impressionist would admit, for example, that in intellectual power Keats's Eve of St. Agnes is inferior to Wordsworth's Intimations; also that it lacks the moral grandeur of the latter; but would claim, on the other hand, that in saying this, one is far from judging the beauty of Keats's poem, because that is completely lacking in Wordsworth.
Leigh Hunt, that amiable, shiftless, Radical man of letters, was coming out from England with his wife; on July 1st Shelley and Williams sailed in the 'Ariel' to Leghorn to meet them, and settle them into the ground-floor of Byron's palace at Pisa. His business despatched, Shelley returned from Pisa to Leghorn, with Hunt's copy of Keats's 'Hyperion' in his pocket to read on the voyage home.
