| Evidence: | From William Allingham's 'Reminiscences' of Tennyson (1863-64):
'Oct. 4th [1863] I walked over alone to Farringford [...] Tennyson at luncheon [...]we went down and walked about the grounds [...] We went down the garden [...] and so to the farmyard. "Have you a particular feeling about a farmyard?" he asked, "a special delight in it? I have. The first time I read Shakespeare was on a hay-stack, Othello. I said, 'This man's over-rated.' Boys can't understand Shakespeare."' |
