| Evidence: | Edward Fitzgerald to Alfred Tennyson, 30 December 1876:
'Here I have a book of old Spanish Romances familiar to Don Quixote and Sancho. I shall write you out a [italics]rather[end italics] pretty one which I read yesterday [...] There is not much in it, if you take the time to construe; but I like the lady with her old husband partner, managing to address the young Count, perhaps as she passes him in the dance, bit by bit as the figure brings her round again.' |
