Evidence: | From F. T. Palgrave's 'Personal Recollections' of Tennyson:
'Often, I believe, as life advanced, he would renew earlier familiarity with the great poets of all time [...] One evening [...] he read out off-hand Pindar's great picture of the life of Heaven in the second Olympian into pure modern prose, splendidly lucid and musical.' |
