Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the word tennyson:

    My life has crept so long on a broken wing
    Through cells of madness, haunts of horror and fear,
    That I come to be grateful at last for a little thing.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
    And the sound of a voice that is still!
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    To-night the winds begin to rise
    And roar from yonder dropping day:
    The last red leaf is whirl’d away,
    The rooks are blown about the skies;

    The forest crack’d, the waters curl’d,
    The cattle huddled on the lea;
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
