One so small Who knowing nothing knows but to obey.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
Rain, rain, and sun! A rainbow in the sky!
Alfred Lord Tennyson
-
He that wrongs a friend Wrongs himself more, and ever bears about A silent court of justice in his breast, Himself the judge and jury, and himself The prisoner at the bar ever condemned.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears from the depths of some devine despair Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
In time there is no present, In eternity no future, In eternity no past.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
The splendour 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 Lord Tennyson -
Silence, beautiful voice.
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
-
Short swallow-flights of song, that dip Their wings in tears, and skim away.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
I am half-sick of shadows,' said The Lady of Shalott.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
The bearing and the training of a child Is woman's wisdom.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
As she fled fast through sun and shade The happy winds upon her play'd, Blowing the ringlet from the braid.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
The wind sounds like a silver wire, And from beyond the noon a fire Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher The skies stoop down in their desire; And, isled in sudden seas of light, My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight, Bursts into blossom in his sight.
Alfred Lord Tennyson -
I can't be anonymous by reason of your confounded photographs. (To Julia Margaret Cameron)
