Alfred Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the words alfred tennyson and/or tennyson:

    It little profits that an idle king,
    By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
    Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole
    Unequal laws unto a savage race
    That hoard, and sleep, and feed,
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    All the charm of all the Muses
    often flowering in a lonely word;
