The Nelson Touch : ウィキペディア英語版 | The Nelson Touch
While on shore leave in England, during the summer of 1805; Nelson told his friend, Lord Sidmouth, about his ideas for his next sea battle. This collection of ideas he dubbed The Nelson Touch. After Nelson's death, the phrase took on a broader meaning relating to his leadership style. == Origins of the phrase == Nelson used the expression 'the Nelson touch' on more than one occasion, and its origin has been the subject of debate amongst historians. A favourite suggestion is that it derives from a line in Nelson's favourite play, Henry V (Shakespeare): 'A little touch of Harry in the night' describing how the king would calm his soldiers on the eve of battle. Nelson also wrote in a private letter to Lady Hamilton about 'the Nelson touch, which we say is warranted never to fail'.〔The Nelson Letters - National Maritime Museum〕 Seen in this context it is easy to see why some have seen it as a private sexual joke between the two lovers (a little touch of Nelson in the night).
