Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote In Memoriam over seventeen years after the sudden death of his closest friend, Arthur Henry Hallam, in 1833. It is 133 cantos of elegy: raw loss, failed consolation, the failure of faith, two Christmases, and a slow, hard-won return to the world. Twenty-one cantos, one a day for three weeks.
