In Memoriam AHH

Japanese: イン･メモリアム（英語表記）In Memoriam A.H.H.

A masterpiece by British poet A. Tennyson. Produced between 1833 and 1850, published in 1850. A dirge in the same vein as Milton's Lycidas and Shelley's Adoneas. The subject of the dirge is his close friend Arthur Hallam (the son of historian H. Hallam, a man who was expected to be a genius but died young in 1833 at the age of 22). The poem is written in eight-syllable, four-line stanzas, with a prologue, 131 paragraphs, and an epilogue, and is highly lyrical in the way it transforms the poet's pent-up feelings about the dead into faith in the immortality of the soul and in God.

イギリスの詩人A.テニソンの代表作。制作1833‐50年，出版1850年。ミルトンの《リシダス》やシェリーの《アドネイアス》に連なる哀悼詩。哀悼の対象は親友アーサー･ハラム(歴史家H.ハラムを父とし，非凡な才を嘱望されながら1833年22歳で夭折)。8音節4行のスタンザを用い，序詞，131の段落，エピローグを連ね，死者に対する鬱屈した心情が，霊魂不滅と神への信仰に昇華されていく過程は，高度の抒情性に富む。
