Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

no God at all, says the fool,

But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!

All the windy ways of men Are but dust that rises up, And is lightly laid again.

Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole Unequal laws unto a savage race, That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me. - Alfred Tennyson
