Footnotes:
[1] Three volumes of verse by Frederick Tennyson have appeared, viz.: Days and Hours (1854); Isles of Greece; Sappho and Alcæus (1890); Daphne, and Other Poems (1801). The published works of Charles Turner are as follows: Sonnets and Fugitive Pieces (1830); Sonnets (1864); Small Tableaux (1868); Sonnets, Lyrics and Translations (1873); Collected Sonnets, Old and New (1880). Edward Tennyson (1813-1890) achieved something of a reputation as a versifier; he contributed a sonnet to the Yorkshire Annual for 1832.
[2] Edward Fitzgerald, in a letter written in 1835, says: “I will say no more of Tennyson than that the more I have seen of him, the more cause I have to think him great. His little humours and grumpinesses were so droll, that I was always laughing.... I felt what Charles Lamb describes, a sense of depression at times from the overshadowing of a so much more lofty intellect than my own.”—Letters and Literary Remains, vol. i.
[3] “Tennyson has been in town for some time: he has been making fresh poems, which are finer, they say, than any he has done. But I believe he is chiefly meditating on the purging and subliming of what he has already done: and repents that he has published at all yet. It is fine to see how in each succeeding poem the smaller ornaments and fancies drop away, and leave the grand ideas single.”—Letters of Edward Fitzgerald, vol. i., p. 21.
Extract from a letter dated October 23, 1833.
[4] “Alfred Tennyson dined with us. I am always a little disappointed with the exterior of our poet when I look at him, in spite of his eyes, which are very fine; but his head and face, striking and dignified as they are, are almost too ponderous and massive for beauty in so young a man; and every now and then there is a slightly sarcastic expression about his mouth that almost frightens me, in spite of his shy manner and habitual silence.”—Fanny Kemble’s Records of a Girlhood, pp. 519-20.
