England experienced a profound social change during the Victorian era.Deep doubts prevailed subsequentially about the conditions of existence.Severe crisis confronted the spiritual world while people query the validity of the innate traditional values.As an epoch Laureate,Tennyson took up his pen as a Telescope seeking for the spiritual power source,also for those were in the quagmire of orientation.Classical values were merged into the current spiritual world in his Telescope,and embedded in the style of heroic poetry which were widely recognized.His voice made the classical heroes identical in his poems.Thus,the lost classical spirit was retrieved by his grand heroic spectacle in such a Telescope.So the power was retrieved by poetry as a scroll painting,reassuring the lost about the definite direction.
