Lord Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or tennyson:

    What greater light can be hoped for in the moral sciences? The subject part of mankind in most places might, instead thereof, with Egyptian bondage expect Egyptian darkness, were not the candle of the Lord set up by himself in men’s minds, which it is impossible for the breath or power of man wholly to extinguish.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    The noise of life begins again,
    And ghastly through the drizzling rain
    On the bald street breaks the blank day.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
