ALFRED LORD TENNYSONI can’t be anonymous by reason of your confounded photographs. (To Julia Margaret Cameron)
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 TENNYSONA still small voice spake unto me, ‘Thou art so full of misery, Were it not better not to be?
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONLove will conquer at the last.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONThou madest man, he knows not why, he thinks he was not made to die.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONSweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONSo many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONFaith is believing what we cannot prove.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONThe shell must break before the bird can fly.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONLove is the only gold.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONRing out the grief that saps the mind, for those that were here we see no more.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONThe happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONMusic that gentlier on the spirit lies, Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONIf Nature put not forth her power About the opening of the flower, Who is it that could live an hour?
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONOur echoes roll from soul to soul, And grow for ever and for ever.
ALFRED LORD TENNYSONSilence, beautiful voice.
