Turner's seemed too ethereal to have been done by mortal hands. The British Scientific Association being now in session here, many distinguished strangers were present. September 29th. Mr. Monekton Milnes called on me at the Consulate day before yesterday. He is pleasant and sensible.
That night he took away with him the first volume of the "Faery Queen," and went through it, as I told his biographer, Mr. Monckton Milnes, "as a young horse would through a spring meadow, ramping!" Like a true poet, too, a poet "born, not manufactured," a poet in grain, he especially singled out the epithets, for that felicity and power in which Spenser is so eminent.
He had a slightly affected or made-up manner, and was rather a comely person. Mr. Milnes introduced him to me as Lord . Hereupon, of course, I observed him more closely; and I must say that I was not long in discovering a gentle dignity and half-imperceptible reserve in his manner; but still my first impression was quite as real as my second one.
In the year 1800 Sir Robert Milnes wrote home that there were 'but one or two English members in the House of Assembly who venture to speak in the language of the mother country, from the certainty of not being understood by a great majority of the House.
Milnes immediately said, 'Oh, no, I will not accept either; with my temperament I should be dead in a year. And nothing could induce him to do so either," continued Mrs. Henniker, "nor could he be induced to accept the Peerage which was offered him by Lord Palmerston in 1856." "But your father was not so rigid in his views as your grandfather, was he, Mrs. Henniker?" said I.
Chorley of the 'Athenaeum, who 'has tears in his eyes, Monckton Milnes, Barry Cornwall, and other friends of my husband's, but who only know me by my books, and I want the love and sympathy of those who love me and whom I love. I was talking of the influence of the journey.
Commonly, country visits are much alike, but Monckton Milnes was never like anybody, and his country parties served his purpose of mixing strange elements.
Monckton Milnes, who persuaded him to leave out one of the best lines; but I persuaded him to replace it when he came home. It is a mistake in general for him to listen to the suggestions of others about his poems."
He did not, like Gladstone, box the compass of thought; "furiously earnest," as Monckton Milnes said, "on both sides of every question"; he was rather, on the whole, a consistent conservative of the old Commonwealth type, and seldom had to defend inconsistencies.
There is a tone of exaltation which will be observed upon, and one or two sentences are suggestive to scepticism. I will send it to you when I get the number. Mr. Milnes has, besides, been her visitor. He is fully a believer, she says, and affirms to having seen the same phenomena in the East, but regards the whole subject with horror. This still appears to be Mrs.
