More quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Who loves not Knowledge? Who shall rail Against her beauty? May she mix With men and prosper! Who shall fix Her pillars? Let her work prevail.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Strong Son of God, immortal Love, Whom we, that have not seen thy face, By faith, and faith alone, embrace, Believing where we cannot prove.

Jewels five-words-long, That on the stretch'd forefinger of all Time Sparkle forever.

I can't be anonymous by reason of your confounded photographs. (To Julia Margaret Cameron)
