Ten- nyson loves the village church, the holly-wreathed bap- tismal font, the peaceful vicarage garden, the comfortable vicar, because they represent serenity and order. He de- tests revolution. If he lived before the coming of Christ, INTRODUCTION TO STUDY OF TENNYSON. 99 in the vales of Sicily, he would probably have hated to see the rural spots of the pagans disturbed by the disciples of a less picturesque and natural ...religion. His belief is summed up in these words : " Behold we know not anything" ; ' I can but trust that good shall fall. At last, far off, at last, to all, And every winter change to spring. "' So runs my dream ; but what am I ? An infant crying in the night : An infant crying for the light, And with no 'language but a cry. ' He believes in the immortality of the soul, and yet, to use again the words he puts into the mouth of his own King Arthur, " all his mind is clouded with a doubt.
