| Evidence: | Wednesday, 12 March 1829:
'I read Reginald Heber's journal after dinner. I spent some merry days with him at Oxford when he was writing his prize-poem. He was then a gay young fellow, a wit and a satirist and burning for literary fame. My laurels were beginning to bloom and we were both mad-caps -- Who would have fortold our future lot?' |
