Christian Commonwealth Psalm 21:4 He asked life of you, and you gave it him, even length of days for ever and ever. When Carlyle and Tennyson were once together "the talk turned upon the immortality of the soul, and Carlyle said, 'Eh, old Jewish rags; you must clear your mind of all that,' and likened man's sojourn on earth to a traveller's rest at an inn; whereupon Tennyson rejoined that the traveller knew whither he was bound and where he would sleep on the night following." The future life was a most interesting and most firmly held article of faith with Tennyson. (Christian Commonwealth.)
