Tennyson Used to Study 1t From ths
Downs OF the Isle of Wight.
Tennyson said, "Somehow water is
the element I love best of all four" but
in the recent memoir he is also credited
with saying that he "never cared great
~ for the sea on the south coast. 1t is
not grand sea, only an angry, curt sea. "
Probably that was view expressed
before he became familiar with the To-
cality, for though the Atlantic does not
plunge against the isle of Wight as
against Cornwall and the west of Ire
land he himself has proved how much
power and enchantment the sea reveals
from the downs. Let the weather be
falr or foul, nature is never dull from
the vantage ground of those convexities
which seem like the rind of the earth
and give an illusion of vastness and
openness beyond their actual area Men
