I cannot rest from travel: I will drink. Life to the lees: all times I have enjoyed. Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those. That loved me, and alone. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Dear as remembered kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd. On lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret; O Death in Life, the days that are no more! Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "Life is brief but love is LONG ."
Life is brief but love is LONG . Alfred Lord Tennyson
What hope is here for modern rhyme To him, who turns a musing eye On songs, and deeds, and lives, that lie Foreshorten'd in the tract of time? These mortal lullabies of pain May bind a book, may line a box, May serve to curl a maiden's locks; Or when a thousand moons shall wane A man upon a stall may find, And, passing, turn the page that tells A grief, then changed to something else, Sung by a long-forgotten mind. But what of that? My darken'd ways Shall ring with music all the... Alfred Lord Tennyson
I have led her home, my love, myonly friend. There is none like her, none, And never yet so warmly ran myblood, And sweetly, on and on. Calming itself to the long-wished forend, Full to the banks, close on the prom-ised good. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Kate saith the world is void of might. Kate saith the men are gilded flies. Kate snaps her fingers at my vows; Kate will not hear of lovers sighs. I would I were an armed knight, Far-famed for well-won enterprise, And wearing on my swarthy brows. The garland of new-wreathed emprise. For in a moment I would pierce. The blackest files of clanging fight, And strongly strike to left and right, In dreaming of my lady's eyes. O, Kate loves well the bold and fierce; But none are bold enough for... Alfred Lord Tennyson
Oh yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill, To pangs of nature, sins of will, Defects of doubt, and taints of blood; That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroy'd, Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God hath made the pile complete; That not a worm is cloven in vain; That not a moth with vain desire Is shrivell'd in a fruitless fire, Or but subserves another's gain. Behold, we know not anything; I can but trust that good shall fall At... Alfred Lord Tennyson
Man is the hunter; woman is his game. The sleek and shining creatures of the chase, we hunt them for the beauty of their skins; they love us for it, and we ride them down. Alfred Lord Tennyson
I envy not in any moods The captive void of noble rage, The linnet born within the cage, That never knew the summer woods: I envy not the beast that takes His license in the field of time, Unfetter’d by the sense of crime, To whom a conscience never wakes; Nor, what may count itself as blest, The heart that never plighted troth But stagnates in the weeds of sloth; Nor any want-begotten rest. I hold it true, whate’er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; ‘Tis better to have loved and... Alfred Lord Tennyson
And down I went to fetch my bride: But, Alice, you were ill at ease; This dress and that by turns you tried, Too fearful that you should not please. I loved you better for your fears, I knew you could not look but well; And dews, that would have fall'n in tears, I kiss'd away before they fell. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Forgive my grief for one removed. Thy creature whom I found so fair. I trust he lives in Thee and there. I find him worthier to be loved. Alfred Lord Tennyson
O, were I loved as I desire to be! What is there in the great sphere of the earth, Or range of evil between death and birth, That I should fear, - if I were loved by thee! All the inner, all the outer world of pain, Clear love would pierce and cleave, if thou wert mine; As I have heard that somewhere in the main. Fresh-water springs come up through bitter brine. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death..."
Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Who is this? And what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer; And they crossed themselves for fear, All the Knights at Camelot; But Lancelot mused a little space He said, "She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Alfred Lord Tennyson quote: "Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those. That loved..."
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those. That loved me, and alone Alfred Lord Tennyson
