More from Alfred, Lord Tennyson
‘Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all.
- “Flower in the Crannied Wall” (1869)
So runs my dream: but what am I?
An infant crying in the night:
An infant crying for the light:
And with no language but a cry.
Alfred, Lord Tennyson on life and death
In Memoriam A.H.H. (1849), Canto LIII
