Tennyson [2]

Crossing the Bar was considered when I was in England as the ne plus ultra of modern lyrical beauty; but that modern is now today’s antiquated and out of date. It is so far off from me in memory that it is difficult to say how I would now estimate it. It should have a place, I suppose – but a really high place? Perhaps.
