Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

But, as he walked, King Arthur panted hard,
Like one that feels a nightmare on his bed
When all the house is mute. So sighed

We are ancients of the earth, And in the morning of the times.

The golden guess Is morning-star to the full round of truth.

The children born of thee are sword and fire, Red ruin, and the breaking up of laws, - Alfred Tennyson
