So now I have sworn to bury
All this dead body of hate
I feel so free and so clear
By the loss of that dead weight.

Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

And down I went to fetch my bride:
But, Alice, you were ill at ease;
This dress and that by turns you tried,
Too fearful that you should not please.
I loved you better for your fears,
I knew you could not look but well;
And dews, that would have fall'n in tears,
I kiss'd away before they fell.

Sir Lancelot and his charger, and a spear

Let darkness keep her raven gloss:
Ah, sweeter to be drunk with loss

So now I have sworn to bury All this dead body of hate I feel so free and so clear By the loss of that dead weight. - Alfred Tennyson
