TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL MEETING. 133 
give the native touch to the dialect poems of Tennyson in a manner that was in- 
imitable. One of his most charming letters, amounting to an essay of real literary 
merit, received a short time before his death, was upon the Arthurian legends. 
One of his last, if not the very last, literary efforts, was a lecture for the Keats 
Centenary, October 29, 1895, which was full of information about the poet and 
his times. It was charmingly written ; but was never delivered in public, I be- 
lieve, as his illness began before the occasion arrived. In his untimely death we 
are reminded of those beautiful lines in Shelley’s ‘‘Adonais ”’ : 
‘* Peace, peace, he is not dead ; 
He doth not sleep; 
He hath awakened from the dream of life.’’
