Famous quotes containing the words pen and/or tennyson:
“It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“See what a lovely shell,
Small and pure as a pearl,”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
