More quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Her court was pure, her life serene God gave her peace her land reposed A thousand claims to reverence closed.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Alfred Lord Tennyson
Come, my friends Tis not too late to seek a newer world Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die
Alfred Lord Tennyson
God and Nature met in light.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
I heard no longer The snowy-banded, dilettante, Delicate-handed priest intone.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
The noonday quiet holds the hill.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Gorgonised me from head to foot With a stony British stare.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Whatever crazy sorrow saith, No life that breathes with human breath Has ever truly longed for death.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
A day may sink or save a realm.
