(Preface TENNYSON was once stirred to wrath by an old lady...)
Preface TENNYSON was once stirred to wrath by an old lady who had some traditional memories of Dr Johnson which were not altogether to his advantage, as that he stirred his tea with his finger and that not clean. We should relate nothing unworthy of great men, he declared. He disputed the right of the world to search into the foibles and peccadilloes of its celebrities, denying the justice of the French proverb, Tot ou tard tout se sait. The surface of the tout may be, but the tout, never is, correctly known. If one knew all one would pardon all, is much more likely to be the truth. The poets work is his life, he would say, and no one has a right to ask for more. It seems then an obligation of honour in writing of Tennyson, to decline the gossip of curiosity or malignity, and to rest content with the facts which are revealed by a biographer who wholly loves the man whose life he writes, yet loves him with a discriminating love (T ennyson: a Memoir, ii. 165).
