Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.

Честното съмнение е по-добро от сляпата вяра.

I hold it truth, with him who sings
To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping-stones
Of their dead selves to higher things.
