"He is a very great loss. He had a large loving mind and the strongest sympathy with the poorer classes."

That was from Queen Victoria, taken from a journal entry two days after Charles Dickens' death in 1870. I love both the genuine feeling of the sentiment and the regal detachment of it. Of one major historical figure commenting on another.
