More quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
There she weaves by night and day, A magic web with colors gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay, To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Love lieth deep Love dwells not in lip-depths.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
The thrall in person may be free in soul
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping something new, That which they have done but earnest of the things which they shall do.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Things seen are mightier than things heard.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Of happy men that have the power to die, And grassy barrows of the happier dead.

But for the unquiet heart and brain A use in measured language lies The sad mechanic exercise Like dull narcotics numbing pain.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
