But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

when that which drew from out
the boundless deep
turns again home.

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

[...] we are — / One equal temper of heroic hearts,/ Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will/ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

All in the blue unclouded weather Thick-jewelled shone the saddle-leather, The helmet and the helmet-feather Burned like one burning flame together, As he rode down to Camelot.

Nor is he the wisest man who never proved himself a fool.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep, too full for sound or foam, when that which drew from out the boundless deep turns again home. - Alfred Tennyson
