TENNYSON - An Occultist

"Tennyson - An Occultist," makes a practical application of this theory. That Tennyson wrote his poem, "The Mystic" when not more than seventeen years old is simply proof that "so great a poet as Tennyson must have been a poet already in former lives and could not but bring over the capacity for poetic inspirations."

This conclusion may not be convincing, but it does show how prevalent tendencies exert an influence on many people and often greatly color their views and judgments. It is just for this reason that prevalent tendencies or viewpoints may have an importance far beyond their desert, and must receive due consideration at proper times.
