Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

Staled by frequence, shrunk by usage into commonest commonplace!

The sun, the moon, the stars, the seas, the hills and the plains,
Are not these, O Soul, the Vision of Him who reigns?

From yon blue heaven above us bent, The grand old gardener and his wife Smile at the claims of long descent.

The old order changeth, yielding place to new, And God fulfils Himself in many ways, Lest one good custom should corrupt the world. - Alfred Tennyson
