Page 3 CHAPTER IPRIVATE LETTERS 1838 - 1839 ON January 30, 1838, Walter Savage Landor entered
upon his sixty-fourth year. Three years earlier, he had hastily
left his wife and children and his pleasant villa at Fiesole, to
find " a solitary and a late repose " in England. After
paying visits to various friends, he took a lodging for himself
in St James's Square, Bath. We read in his correspondence of frequent
excursions to London, Warwick, Llanbedr, and elsewhere ; and the
earliest letter here printed was written from Gore House, Kensington,
the residence of his old friend, the Countess of Blessington. Long
afterwards, Mr Augustus Hare relates, Landor would tall: of his
visits to Gore House, of Count D'Orsay and Lady Blessington, "with
Disraeli sitting silently watching their conversation as if it
were a display of fireworks." |
