Quotes

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
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
I fain would follow love, if that could be; I needs must follow death, who calls for me; Call and I follow, I follow! let me die. Alfred Lord Tennyson
Thine are these orbs of light and shade; Thou madest Life in man and brute; Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot. Is on the skull which thou hast made. Alfred Lord Tennyson
So word by word, and line by line, The dead man touch'd me from the past, And all at once it seem'd at last The living soul was flash'd on mine, And mine in his was wound, and whirl'd About empyreal heights of thought, And came on that which is, and caught The deep pulsations of the world, onian music measuring out The steps of Time—the shocks of Chance-- The blows of Death. At length my trance Was cancell'd, stricken thro' with doubt. Alfred Lord Tennyson
When in the down I sink my head,Sleep, Death's twin-brother, times my breath;Sleep, Death's twin-brother, knows not Death,Nor can I dream of thee as dead: Alfred Lord Tennyson
Maud in the light of her youth and her grace, Singing of Death, and of Honor that cannot die, Till I well could weep for a time so sordid and mean, And myself so languid and base. Alfred Lord Tennyson
I came in haste with cursing breath, And heart of hardest steel; But when I saw thee cold in death, I felt as man should feel. For when I look upon that face, That cold, unheeding, frigid brown, Where neither rage nor fear has place, By Heaven! I cannot hate thee now! Alfred Lord Tennyson
Seal'd her minefrom her first sweet breath. Mine, and mine by right, from birth till death. Mine, mine-our fathers have sworn. Alfred Lord Tennyson
