We needs must love the highest when we see it.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Wearing all that weight Of learning lightly like a flower.

The sin That neither God nor man can well forgive.

The song that nerves a nation's heart is in itself a deed.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Wearing the white flower of a blameless life, Before a thousand peering littlenesses, In that fierce light which beats upon a throne, And blackens every blot.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
Who loves not Knowledge? Who shall rail Against her beauty? May she mix With men and prosper! Who shall fix Her pillars? Let her work prevail.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
