Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

As she fled fast through sun and shade The happy winds upon her played, Blowing the ringlet from the braid.

The city is built
To music, therefore never built at all,
And therefore built forever.

Come out, my lord, it is a world of fools.

A man had given all other bliss, And all his worldly worth for this To waste his whole heart in one kiss Upon her perfect lips. - Alfred Tennyson
