Ce que croit ma raison, quoi qu'il puisse arriver,
Et ce que sent mon cœur en sa douleur amère,
C'est que mieux vaut l'amour suivi d'un deuil austère
Que la paix de celui qui ne sut pas aimer.

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish’d, not to shine in use!
As tho’ to breathe were life!

At length I saw a lady within call, Stiller than chisell'd marble, standing there; A daughter of the gods, divinely tall, And most divinely fair.

The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.

Ce que croit ma raison, quoi qu'il puisse arriver, Et ce que sent mon cœur en sa douleur amère, C'est que mieux vaut l'amour suivi d'un deuil austère… - Alfred Tennyson
