Alfred Lord Tennyson
Every moment dies a man, Every moment one is born.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
For this alone on Death I wreak The wrath that garners in my heart: He put our lives so far apart We cannot hear each other speak.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Authority forgets a dying king.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
She hath no loyal knight and true, The Lady of Shalott.
