Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world.

— Alfred Tennyson

Dear as remembered kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'don lips that are for others; deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

— Alfred Tennyson

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

— Alfred Tennyson

Forgive my grief for one removed Thy creature whom I found so fair trust he lives in Thee and their find him worthier to be loved.

— Alfred Tennyson

For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.

— Alfred Tennyson

Half the night I waste in sighs, Half in dreams I sorrow after The delight of early skies;In a wakeful dose I sorrow For the hand, the lips, the eyes, For the meeting of the morrow, The delight of happy laughter, The delight of low replies.

— Alfred Tennyson

He makes no friends who never made a foe.

— Alfred Tennyson

Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...

— Alfred Tennyson

How dull it is to pause, to make an end, To rust burnish’d, not to shine in use! As tho’ to breathe were life!

— Alfred Tennyson

I came in haste with cursing breath, And heart of hardest steel;But when I saw the cold in death, I felt as man should feel. For when I look upon that face, That cold, unheeding, frigid brown, Where neither rage nor fear has place, By Heaven! I cannot hate the now!

— Alfred Tennyson
