Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

MANY a hearth upon our dark globe sighs after many a vanish’d face,
Many a planet by many a sun may roll with a dust of a vanish’d race.

Raving politics, never at rest — as this poor earth’s pale history runs, — What is it all but a trouble of ants in the gleam of a million million of suns?

In the afternoon they came unto a land In which it seemed always afternoon.

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

May make my heart as a milestone, set my face as a flint, cheat and be cheated, and die: who knows? we are ashes and dust. - Alfred Tennyson
