The Lotos-Eaters
''The Lotos-Eaters'' is a poem by Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, published in Tennyson's 1832 poetry collection. It was inspired by his trip to Spain with his close friend Arthur Hallam, where they visited the Pyrenees mountains. The poem describes a group of mariners who, upon eating the lotos, are put into an altered state and isolated from the outside world.
==Background==
In the summer of 1829, Tennyson and Arthur Hallam made a trek into conflict torn northern Spain. The scenery and experience influenced a few of his poems, including ''Oenone'', ''The Lotus-Eaters'' and "Mariana in the South".〔Thorn 1992 p. 67〕''
These three poems, and some others, were later revised for Tennyson's 1842 collection.〔Kincaid 1975 p. 17〕 In this revision Tennyson takes the opportunity to rewrite a section of The Lotus Eaters by inserting a new stanza before the final stanza. The new stanza describes how someone may have the feelings of wholeness even when there is great loss. It is alleged by some that the stanza refers to the sense of loss felt by Tennyson upon the death of Hallam in 1833.〔Hughes 1988 p. 91〕
