    In poem 8 on page 1090 of "In Memoriam," in lines 21-24, Tennyson writes "But since it pleased a vanished eye,/I go to plant it on his tomb,/That if it can it there may bloom,/Or dying, there at least may die." Did Tennyson actually put a copy of these poems at Hallam's grave? Or is he just expressing the loss he feels at not being able to get his friend's opinion on his work anymore?
