Elaine, by T. S. Westmacott, in the exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1868. 'All that may be our duty by way of offering descriptive observations in reference to this statuette we think can be performed - and, if done, most certainly best done - by quoting the exact passage of Tennyson's graceful idyl which Mr. T.S. [sic] Westmacott has illustrated. Many of our readers will not require their memories to be refreshed regarding anything so familiar; but to some the passage may be acceptable. It runs thus: "She stayed a minute, then made a sudden step to the gate, and there - Her bright hair blown about the serious face, Yet rosy-kindled with her brother's kiss - Paused in the gateway, standing by the shield In silence, while she watch'd their arms far-off Sparkle until they dipt below the downs".' From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
