Evidence: | Aubrey de Vere on Tennyson's second visit to Ireland, as his guest, during 1848:
'In the evenings he had vocal music from Lady de Vere and her sister, and Sonatas of Mozart and Beethoven played by my eldest brother [...] Later, he read poetry to us with a voice that doubled its power, commonly choosing pathetic pieces; and on one occasion after finishing "A Sorrowful Tale" by Crabbe, glanced round reproachfully and said, "I do not see that any of you are weeping!"' |
