Lizzie Flower had modified her prophecy as to the Laureateship, but was still loyal. They had tiffed occasionally, and broken off the friendship, and once I believe returned letters. To marry was out of the question he couldn't support himself and besides that, they were old, demnition old; he was past thirty and she was forty Gramercy! They tiffed. Then they made up.
May God bless you, my dear friend! Love your affectionate and grateful, for so many reasons, BA. The death of Wordsworth on April 23 left the Laureateship vacant, and though there was probably never any likelihood of Mrs.
After their return to London, on the night of November 18, Tennyson dreamed that Prince Albert came and kissed him, and that he himself said, "Very kind, but very German," which was very like him. Next day he received from Windsor the offer of the Laureateship. He doubted, and hesitated, but accepted.
The very next day, however, she was glad she had not requested the resignation of the poet from the laureateship of her house; for the same basket gave forth another printed slip from another editor, begging the poet to accept the enclosed check, with thanks for his contribution, and asking him to deposit it as soon as practicable which was pleasing enough, since it implied that the poet was the possessor of a bank account.
The substitution of female for male actors, in feminine characters, was also an innovation of this period. And as an incident of the Laureateship there is still another novelty to be noted. There is no crown without its thorns. The laurel renders the pillow of the wearer as knotty, uneasy, and comfortless as does a coronal of gold and jewels.
His career, however, had not been so profitable that an additional hundred pounds should be a thing of indifference; in fact, the sum seemed to be just what was needed to enable him to forsake active duty on the stage, for the patent was no sooner signed than the veteran retired upon his laurels. The annals of the Laureateship, during Cibber's reign, are without incident.
It was in consenting to this that the Duke expressed his approval of Scott's determination to refuse the Laureateship, which had been offered to him, and which, in consequence of his refusal and at his suggestion, was conferred upon Southey. Even the guarantee, though it did save the firm, saved it with great difficulty.
Deane, thank her much for her kind anxiety; but, indeed, if I had lost my darling I should not write verses about it. As for the Laureateship, it won't be given to me, be sure, though the suggestion has gone the round of the English newspapers 'Galignani' and all and notwithstanding that most kind and flattering recommendation of the 'Athenaeum, for which I am sure we should be grateful to Mr.
Whitehead exerting the prerogative of his laureateship addressed to youthful poets a poetic Charge, which is perhaps the best, and certainly the most interesting, of his works. With no other privilege than that of sympathy and sincere good wishes, I would address an affectionate exhortation to the youthful literati, grounded on my own experience.
When Morgan's first volume of poems was published, Archibald went about in a state of intense excitement. He bought fifty copies to give away, and never went abroad without carrying one in his pocket. He bragged and boasted about Morgan, till one might have imagined the latter had scornfully refused the laureateship. Morgan, however, had no great respect for his father's literary judgment.
