Tennyson

Famous quotes containing the word tennyson:

    Till the war-drum throbbed no longer, and the battle-flags were
    furled
    In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
    There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe,
    And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapped in universal law.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    The Danube to the Severn gave
    The darken’d heart that beat no more;
    They laid him by the pleasant shore,
    And in the hearing of the wave.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    More things are wrought by prayer
    Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
    Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
