| Evidence: | From Hallam Tennyson's account of his father's last days:
'On Sept. 3rd [1892] he complained of weakness and of pain in his jaw [...]
'On Wednesday the 29th we telegraphed for Sir Andrew Clark [?physician] [...]
'He read Job, and St Matthew, and Miss Swanwick's new book on Poets as the Interpreters of the Age. Sir Andrew arrived, and did not think so badly of him as I did. He and my father fell to discussing Gray's "Elegy."' |
