In Memoriam A. H. H.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

⏱ 7 minEpic & myth

Seventeen years in the making, Tennyson's great elegy for his beloved friend Arthur Hallam moves through the whole slow country of grief -- raw shock, wild doubt, a pitiless Nature red in tooth and claw -- toward a hard-won faith that love is not lost, and that all creation moves toward one far-off divine event.
