Evidence:
From F. T. Palgrave's 'Personal Recollections' of Tennyson: 'Shakespeare and Milton [...] he read aloud by preference: always coming to Paradise Lost with manifest pleasure and reverent admiration [...] I may name [...] the great vision of Eden (Book IV. 205-311), which he read aloud at Ardtornish in Morvern (August, 1853), and often afterwards; dwelling always upon the peculiar grace of lines 246-263.'
