Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
And every dew-drop paints a bow.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
That which we are, we are.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Theirs is not to make reply: Theirs is not to reason why: Theirs is but to do and die.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The old order changeth, yielding place to new, and god fulfills himself in many ways, lest one good custom should corrupt the world.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
If I make dark my countenance, I shut my life from happier chance.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Blind and naked ignorance delivers brawling judgments, unashamed, on all things all day long
Alfred Lord Tennyson
And common is the commonplace, And vacant chaff well meant for grain.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
How fares it with the happy dead?
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The quiet sense of something lost
