Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

More black than ash-buds in the front of March.

Read my little fable: He that runs may read. Most can raise the flowers now, For all have got the seed.

Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace! Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul, While the stars burn, the moons increase, And the great ages onward roll.
