A review by sanderle
In Memoriam: Authoritative Text Criticism by Alfred Tennyson
4.0
"I sometimes hold it half a sin
To put in words the grief I feel;
For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within." (V)
It took me 4 months to get through this collection & it was well worth it. The verses cover a variety of themes and ideas, and they so wonderfully convey/evoke emotion. The reader feels with Tennyson the heartbreak and longing he puts into words. There are many beautiful verses in In Memoriam that I will surely visit again.
