Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works, Vol. 3 of 13 The early years which my father spent in London, looking about him, trying his ´prentice hand on life, coming and going with his friends, were those in which he saw most of Edward FitzGerald, Charles and Arthur Buller, of John and Henry Kemble, all of whom seem to have been his playfellows. Alfred and Frederick Tennyson, and John Allen, are also among those who are constantly mentioned in the notes and the letters of that time. These young knights of the Mahogany Tree used to meet and play and work together, or sit over their brandy-and-water discussing men and books and morals, speculating, joking, and contradicting each other - liking fun and talk and wit and human nature, and all fanciful and noble things. Alfred Tennyson was already the poet laureate of this little court, which was roaming about London, with so much vigour and cheerful mirth. They all went their own ways. They heartily admired each other (and no wonder), and they encouraged the minor graces as well as the major virtues. Among other things they seem to have greatly admired a blue frockcoat of FitzGerald´s, of which he himself has written more than once in his letters. "It looks delightful in church," he says.
