In Memoriam A.H.H.

All are welcome to come and participate in a marathon reading of Tennyson’s masterpiece on Remembrance Day (Armistice Day), November 11th, a hundred years after the end of the Great War.

Join students from Eric Nye’s English 3500, Nineteenth-century British and American literature. Bring a copy of the whole poem (2700 lines), and meet in Hoyt Hall's Mathison Library on Sunday evening, November 11th, 9 pm. We should finish before midnight.

Be near me when my light is low,
   When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick
   And tingle; and the heart is sick,
And all the wheels of being slow.

Be near me when the sensuous frame
   Is racked with pangs that conquer trust;
   And Time, a maniac scattering dust,
And life, a Fury slinging Flame.
