The verse ;- i weel, strong and flexible ai Tennyson's and is by relieved a number of exquisite lyrics. Sir Edwin has tried lode mauslrate a new and broad Christianity which he thinks the next century will adopt. He has grappled with the apparent inconsistency of Christ- ianity which make! hirlolry a iin yet places itself under the stigma of a double association with harlotry.
