Evidence: | Alfred Tennyson to the Duke of Argyll, from the Temple, London, on return from French holiday of summer 1861:
'I had intended to write yesterday [...] and I scarce know why I did not: perhaps because in these chambers I had lighted on an old and not unclever novel Zohrab the Hostage; partly perhaps because I had fallen into a muse about human vanities and "the glories of our blood and state" (do you know those grand old lines of Shirley's?) [...] however, what with the novel and the musing fit, I let the post slip'. |
