Tennyson, Artistically Fastidious, Wss
a Personal Slovan.
There Is a sort of Idea in the public
mind that th» ¡xx-t 1» what scientists
call a "fixed genius," that every poet
Is the riact counterpart of every other
poet, There Is probably no class of
men In ths world If cluas It can be
called
whose members differ more
widely In personality.

Dryden, Hedley, Rochester nnd Hhelley
seemed to have no use for money and
"splashed It alxuit In th« most Insane
fashion. Shakespeare was a keen mnn
of business. Ills contemporaries, Mar­
lowe ami Musslnger, did not l<nva
enough to have tiieir I hm II ch decently

Coming down to modern times, Ten
nyson was artistically the most déli­

fire, with ii short black clay p![x- be
tween his lips, burning groan« spots
out of a pair of check trousers with
the point of a ri-dhot poker.
It was probably Tennyson’s "faculty
of silence” which helped him to secure
tbe friendship of the greatest talker—
In both senses of the phrase of his
generation, Thomas Carlyle.
Carlyle had occasional fits of silence,
nnd he and Tennyson would sit on op­
posite side» of the hearth for six hour»
nt a stretch without exchanging as
ninny words.
At th« expiration of such a period
of silent intercommunication Carlyle
would knock tbe ashes out of bls last
pip« nnd romnrk with every symptom
of the keenest Intellectual satisfaction.

nyson was one of the most silent of
men. Browning one of the most ebul­
