The music of Mendelssohn has a close affinity in spirit to the poetry of Tennyson, and what Elisabeth Wordsworth remarked of the poet might equally well apply to the composer : ' The absence of pain and gloom through all Tennyson's poetry is very remarkable ; he seems, as a rule, to shrink from facing the ghastly, the horrible, the eccentric, or the profoundly tragic. But he is completely in his element in a well-ordered, beautiful, cultured world, a world of broad spaces of light, rich crops and stately palaces' If Mendelssohn failed to express the deeper human emotions to the extent of Brahms, and lacked the heroic build of Beethoven, he has earned a place in the sun as an exquisite miniaturist who created with magic and unrivalled pen the atmosphere of fairyland. And for this alone he deserves immortality.
