Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

Evolution ever climbing after some ideal good And Reversion ever dragging Evolution in the mud.

About a stone-cast from the wall
A sluice with blacken'd waters slept,
And o'er it many, round and small,
The cluster'd marish-mosses crept.

Follow the deer? Follow the Christ the King. Live pure, speak true,right wrong, Follow the King — Else, wherefore born?
