Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the word tennyson:

    There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow,
    Came that “Ave atque Vale” of the poet’s hopeless woe,
    Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen hundred years ago,
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Dark house, by which once more I stand
    Here in the long unlovely street,
    Doors, where my heart was used to beat
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The Danube to the Severn gave
    The darken’d heart that beat no more;
    They laid him by the pleasant shore,
    And in the hearing of the wave.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
