Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Day With the Poet Tennyson Tennyson was no recluse. He shunned society in the ordinary London sense, but he welcomed kindred spirits to his beautiful home, with large-hearted cordiality. To be acquainted with Farringford was in itself a liberal education. Farringford was an ideal home for a great poet. To begin with, it was somewhat secluded and remote from the world´s ways, especially in the early ´fifties, when the Isle of Wight was much more of a terra incognita than traffic now permits. One had to travel down some hundred miles from town, cross from the quaint little New Forest port of Lymington to the still quainter little oldworld Yarmouth - "a mediæval Venice," the poet called it - and then drive some miles to Freshwater, before one attained the stately loveliness of Farringford embowered in trees.
