Poetry Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Behold, we know not anything;”

“Let me go: take back thy gift:”

“I hold it true, whate'er befall;”

““Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,”

“And this gray spirit yearning in desire”

“Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.”

“Poetry should be great and unobtrusive, a thing which enters into one's soul, and does not startle it or amaze it with itself, but with its subject.”

“We, unaccustomed to courage”

“Sir, I admit your general rule,”

“What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.”

“A poem should not mean”

“Far over the misty mountains cold”
