Alfred Lord Tennyson
A doubtful throne is ice on summer seas.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Ah, Christ, that it were possible, For one short hour to see The souls we loved, that they might tell us What and where they be.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
We are self-uncertain creatures, and we may Yea, even when we know not, mix our spites And private hates with our defence of Heaven.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
This barren verbiage, current among men, Light coin, the tinsel clink of compliment.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Life is brief but love is LONG .
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sweet is every sound, sweeter the voice, but every sound is sweet.
