Evidence: | 'In January [1892] Dr Hubert Parry stayed with us at Farringford, for he wanted to hear my father read "The Lotos-Eaters" which he was setting to music.
'For the first time my father's voice, usually so strong, failed while reading this poem and the "Ode on the Duke of Wellington," which he was anxious that a great composer should set as he read it.' |
