At Eastbourne #OnThisDay 1892, Lewis Carroll recorded in his journal just four words: "Death of Alfred #Tennyson." It was a personal blow to him as well as a national event, as Ray Dyer explains: victorianweb.org/authors/carr...
.

#OTD in 1892, Alfred Lord Tennyson died at age 83. He remains Britain's longest-serving Poet Laureate and is remembered for poems such as Charge of the Light Brigade, The Lady of Shalott, and In Memoriam A.H.H.

”…that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Ulysses 1833, by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Poet Laureate, died #OTD 1892.

One of Trinity’s longest traditions is the annual signing of the Admissions Book. Today, 266 new students will inscribe their names in College history by signing the book themselves. ✍🏾 The images show poet Lord Alfred Tennyson’s entry from 1827, along with personal details written in his own hand.
