Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

So now I have sworn to bury
All this dead body of hate
I feel so free and so clear
By the loss of that dead weight.

And o'er the hills, and far away Beyond their utmost purple rim, Beyond the night, across the day, Thro' all the world she follow'd him.

And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river, For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.

The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions. - Alfred Tennyson
