Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the word tennyson:

“The splendor falls on castle walls
And snowy summits old in story;
The long light shakes across the lakes,
And the wild cataract leaps in glory.
Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying,
Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

“I come from haunts of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally,
And sparkle out among the fern
To bicker down a valley.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
