Additional quotes by Alfred Tennyson

I can't sleep without knowing there's hope. Half the night I waste in sighs. In a wakeful doze I sorrow. For the hands, for the lips... the eyes. For the meeting of tomorrow.

My religious beliefs also defied convention, leaning towards agnosticism and pandeism.

No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with his word
She shook the world.

Forerun thy peers, thy time, and let Thy feet, millenniums hence, be set In midst of knowledge, dream'd not yet. - Alfred Tennyson
