Personal.

I "did" Tennyson for English Lit "O" level more years ago than I care to remember. But it has taken until now, and hearing Sheila Hancock on an advert for the BBC's poetry season to realise that his poetry was hiding the perfect quote all the time -

But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!

Says it all.
