TENNYSONIANA.
"Locksley Hall," says a well-known writer in Fraser, "bristles with verbal alterations which every careful reader of Tennyson knows."[2] I have found only five.
Here are four lines from different parts of the poem, as they stood in 1842:
"'Tis the place, and round the gables, as of old, the curlews call."
"Slides the bird o'er lustrous woodland, droops the trailer from the crag."
"Let the peoples spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change."
"Thro' the shadow of the world we sweep into the younger day."
