PATMORE OR LOyGFELLOW,

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: / find In THE TRIBUNE of September
90 the following paragraph;
Coventry Patmore is said be the poet alluded to b.
TennysOn in that StanZa OF In Mem0riam"-
"Ihold II true with him who sings
To one clear harp In divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping Stones
OF their dead selves to higher thng-."
In the Angel In the House " Mr.. Patmorc writes
(Love looking backward through Its tears
With vision OF maturity scope,
How Jften one dead Joy appears

wish to suggest to your literary editor TO look In his
Longfeow for the poem entitled " The Ladder OF SC
Augustine" for the lines 10 which Tennyson refers In
the verse quoted above from " In Memoriam" An
English poet in London some twenty-five years ago
called my attention 10 this charming alusion to the
great American poet, and spoke TO Longfelow himself
about it when visiting him in 1865. He fully understood
that Il was so.
/ suspect Mr. Patmore, consciously or unconsciously
adapted the idea after Longeow-certanly the ausi0n
by TennysOn much closer both 20 the idea and form OF
LOngfelOw's poem than 10 Patm0re's. The compliment
was gracefully paid by Englands Laureate TO our
