More quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Evolution ever climbing after some ideal good, And Reversion ever dragging Evolution in the mud.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

There rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Who is wise in love, love most, say least.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Yet is there one true line, the pearl of pearls: Man dreams of Fame while woman wakes to love.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
In the long years liker they must grow The man be more of woman, she of man.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Is there evil but on earth? Or pain in every peopled sphere? Well, be grateful for the sounding watchword Evolution here.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The noonday quiet holds the hill.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The last great Englishman is low.

All experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untraveled world whose margins fade forever and forever as we move.
