Oxford, where he took his degree in 1856 with second classes in See also:classics and in See also:law and See also:modern See also:history. In the autumn of 1858 he went to See also:Turkey as unpaid attache to See also:Lord See also:Stratford de Redcliffe, and two years later was called to the See also:bar. He became an officer in theCheshireYeomanry,and unsuccessfullycontestedMid-See also:Cheshire in 1868 as a Liberal. After his See also:father's second See also:marriage in 1871 he remoyed to See also:London, where he became a See also:close friend of See also:Tennyson for several years. From 1877 till his See also:succession to the See also:title in 1887 he was lost to his See also:friends, assuming the See also:life of a recluse. It was not till 1892 that he returned to London life, and enjoyed a sort of See also:renaissance of reputation and friendship. During the later years of his life Lord De Tabley made many new friends, besides reopening old associations, and he almost seemed to he gathering around him a small See also:literary See also:company when his See also:health See also:broke, and he died on the 22nd of See also:November 1895 at See also:Hyde, in his sixty-first See also:year. He was buried at Little Peover in Cheshire. Although his reputation will live almost exclusively as that of a poet, De Tabley was a See also:man of many studious tastes. He was at one See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time an authority on See also:numismatics; he wrote two novels; published A See also:Guide to the Study of See also:Book Plates (188o); and the See also:fruit of his careful researches in See also:botany was printed posthumously in his elaborate See also:Flora of Cheshire (1899). See also:Poetry, however, was his first and last See also:passion, and to that he devoted the best energies of his life.
De Tabley's first impulse towards poetry came from his friend George See also:Fortescue, with whom he shared a close companionship during his Oxford days, and whom he lost, as Tennyson lost See also:Hallam, within a few years of their taking their degrees. Fortescue was killed by falling from the See also:mast of Lord See also:Drogheda's yacht in November 1859, and this gloomy event plunged De Tabley into deep depression. Between 1859 and 1862 De Tabley issued four little volumes of pseudonymous See also:verse (by G. F. See also:Preston), in the See also:production of which he had been greatly stimulated by the sympathy of Fortescue. Once more he assumed a pseudonym—his Praeterita (1863) bearing the name of See also:- WILLIAM

dramas, followed in 1865 by Studies in Verse. These volumes all displayed technical See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)

grace and much natural beauty; but it was not till the publication of See also:Philoctetes in 1866 that De Tabley met with any wide recognition. Philoctetes See also:bore the See also:initials " M.A.," which, to the author's dismay, were interpreted as meaning See also:Matthew See also:Arnold. He at once disclosed his identity, and received the congratulations of his friends, among whom were Tennyson, See also:Browning and See also:Gladstone. In 1867 he published See also:Orestes, in 187o Rehearsals and in 1873 Searching the See also:Net. These last two bore his own name, See also:John Leicester Warren.
He was somewhat disappointed by their lukewarm reception, and when in 1876 The Soldier of See also:Fortune, a See also:drama on which he had bestowed much careful labour, proved a See also:complete failure, he retired altogether from the literary See also:arena. It was not until 1893, that he was persuaded to return, and the immediate success in that year of his Poems, Dramatic and Lyrical, encouraged him to publish a second See also:series in 1895, the year of his See also:death. The genuine See also:interest with which these volumes were welcomed did much to lighten the last years of a somewhat sombre and solitary life. His See also:posthumous poems were collected in 1902. The characteristics of De Tabley's poetry are pre-eminently magnificence of See also:style, derived from close study of See also:Milton, sonority, dignity, See also:weight and See also:colour. His passion for detail was both a strength and a weakness: it See also:- LENT (0. Eng. lenclen, " spring," M. Eng. lenten, lente, lent; cf. Dut. lente, Ger. Lenz, " spring," 0. H. Ger. lenzin, lengizin, lenzo, probably from the same root as " long " and referring to " the lengthening days ")
lent a loving fidelity to his description of natural See also:objects, but it sometimes' involved him in a loss of See also:simple effect from over-elaboration of treatment. He was always a student of the classic poets, and See also:drew much of his See also:inspiration directly from them. He was a true and a whole-hearted artist, who, as a See also:brother poet well said, " still climbed the clear See also:cold altitudes of See also:song." His ambition was always for the heights, a region naturally See also:ice-See also:bound at periods, but always a See also:country of clear See also:atmosphere and See also:bright, vivid outlines.
