I grow in worth, and wit, and sense, Unboding critic-pen, Or that eternal want of pence, Which vexes public men.
Alfred Lord TennysonThat which we are, we are, and if we are ever to be any better, now is the time to begin.
Alfred Lord TennysonCourtesy wins woman all as well. As valor may, but he that closes both is perfect.
Alfred Lord TennysonAnd men, whose reason long was blind, From cells of madness unconfined, Oft lose whole years of darker mind.
Alfred Lord TennysonThere rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
