A Hay Drenm of Tennyson. In the "Life of Tennyson* 1 occurs the following: "A kind of waking trance I have fre quently had. up from boyhood, whou I have boon all P. lone. This has generally come upon me through repeating my own name two or three times to myself silently, till all at once, as it wore out of th'c Intensity of the consciousness of Individuality, the individuality Itself seemed to dissolve and fade away Into boundless being, and this not In a cou fused state, but the clearest of the clearest, the surest of the surest, the weirdest of the weirdest, utterly be yond words, where death was an al most laughable impossibility, the loss of personality (If bo It were) seeming no extinction but the only true life. This might be the state which St. Paul describes. * whet her In the bjdy I cau not trll, or whether out of the l>ody I cannot tell.' I vi:> ashamed of my fee ble description.
