Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

To follow knowledge like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair.

Sooner or later I too may passively take the print
Of the golden age — why not? I have neither hope nor trust;
May make my heart as a millstone, set my face as a flint,
Cheat and be cheated, and die: who knows? we are ashes and dust.

And when she gained her castle, upsprang the bridge, Down rang the grate of iron through the groove, And he was left alone in open field. - Alfred Tennyson
