Relating an anecdote concerning the debate over the Abolition of the Establishment in 1869 in the House of Lords. He gives the words of the Bishop of St. David's when asked if he had risked his health during a speech: "'Yes, ' he said, 'perhaps so; but I was more than repaid by walking out upon Westminster Bridge after the Session, seeing London in the morning light as Wordsworth saw it, & repeating to myself his noble sonnet as I walked home.'"
