Ah yes, the Victorians. Coming to terms with melancholy. Reformists? Dickens! Wilde! Huysmans! I must say, I do like Tennyson (I want Lord in my name) but I prefer Carlyle (although the were both elitists). He is the only poet I have ever read that could put "pusillanimous" into a poem. Now there is talent.
