ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON: QUOTES
|
|
- All is well, tho' faith and form
- Be sunder'd in the night of fear.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, In Memoriam
- Forward, forward let us range,
- Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, Locksley Hall
For man is man and master of his fate.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Idylls of the King
O hard, when love and duty clash!
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Princess
- The dirty nurse, Experience, in her kind
- Hath foul'd me.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Idylls of the King
Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Higher Pantheism
I cannot rest from travel; I will drink life to the lees.
ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, Ulysses
- Shall the hag Evil die with the child of Good,
- Or propagate again her loathèd kind,
- Thronging the cells of the diseased mind,
- Hateful with hanging cheeks, a withered brood,
- Though hourly pastured on the salient blood?
- For every worm beneath the moon
- Draws different threads, and late and soon
- Spins, toiling out his own cocoon.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Two Voices
- All the windy ways of men
- Are but dust that rises up,
- And is lightly laid again.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Vision of Sin
- I know that age to age succeeds,
- Blowing a noise of tongues and deeds,
- A dust of systems and of creeds.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Two Voices
- Virtue!--to be good and just--
- Every heart, when sifted well,
- Is a clot of warmer dust,
- Mix'd with cunning sparks of hell.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Vision of Sin
- And men, whose reason long was blind,
- From cells of madness unconfined,
- Oft lose whole years of darker mind.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Two Voices
- No life that breathes with human breath
- Has ever truly long'd for death.
ALFRED TENNYSON, The Two Voices
