And what I see I leave unsaid,
Nor speak it, knowing Death has made
His darkness beautiful with thee.

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down from Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flash'd into the crystal mirror,
'Tirra lirra, tirra lirra:'
Sang Sir Lancelot.

When every morning brought a noble chance, And every chance brought out a noble knight.

My end draws nigh; 't is time that I were gone. Make broad thy shoulders to receive my weight

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
