His time as Tennyson's disciple was one of the highlights of his life, but Tennyson's need for admiring followers was eventually overcome by his dislike of being harried by the devoted Palgrave. On a walking tour of Cornwall in 1860, for example, while hunting for Arthurian sites for the Idylls of the King, Tennyson complained to William Holman Hunt that: 'all day long I am trying to get a quiet moment for reflection... but before I have finished a couplet I hear Palgrave's voice like a bee in a bottle, making the neighbourhood resound with my name, and I have to give myself up to escape the consequences.' (Hunt, 2.213). It was, therefore, little wonder that Tennyson 'dismissed' Palgrave in 1868, though Palgrave continued to regard himself as a lifelong friend." - Oxford DNB.
