| Evidence: | Harriet Martineau to Elizabeth Barrett, 11 July 1844:
'I read Tennyson with deep & high delight, yet with the mournful feeling that his operation &
immortality must be restricted by the want of simplicity wh. is the curse of our poets now-a-
days. None can live who do not speak out clear & substantial, well-rounded thoughts in the
most lucid & direct expression. Scarcely one does this, -- & for want of it I do fear none will
live.' |
