Portrait of an Age


     

G.M. Young was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. '
I was born when the Queen had still nearly nineteen years to reign; I saw her twice, Gladstone once;

I well remember the death of Newman and Tennyson, and my earliest recollection of the Abbey brings back the flowers fresh on Browning's grave.'
