Nor speak it, knowing Death has made

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough
Gleams that untraveled world whose margin fades
Forever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!
As though to breathe were life!

For words, like Nature, half reveal
And half conceal the Soul within.

She with all the charm of woman, She with all the breadth of man.

But there is more than I can see, And what I see I leave unsaid, Nor speak it, knowing Death has made His darkness beautiful with thee. - Alfred Tennyson
