More quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson
A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea, But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
As the husband is, the wife is.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
From yon blue heaven above us bent, The grand old gardener and his wife Smile at the claims of long descent.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Life is brief but love is LONG .

In the long years liker they must grow The man be more of woman, she of man.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
