Silence, beautiful voice.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONSilence, beautiful voice.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONO love, O fire! once he drew With one long kiss my whole soul through My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONFor love reflects the thing beloved.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONMy strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONSelf-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONOh that it were possible, After long grief and pain, To find the arms of my true love, Around me once again.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONFour grey walls, and four grey towers, Overlook a space of flowers, And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONMy life has crept so long on a broken wing Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear, That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONAs love, if love be perfect, casts out fear, so hate, if hate be perfect, casts out fear.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONI sometimes find it half a sin, to put to words the grief I feel, For words like nature, half reveal, and half conceal the soul within.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONIt’s better to have tried and failed than to live life wondering what would’ve happened if I had tried.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONI must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONMusic that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONThe world which credits what is done is cold to all that might have been.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONI remain Mistress of mine own self and mine own soul.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONI am a part of all that I have met.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSON
