Quote by -Alfred Lord Tennyson
Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of: Wherefore, let thy voice, Rise like a fountain for me night and day.

Quote by -Alfred Lord Tennyson
Let knowledge grow from more to more, But more of reverence in us dwell; That mind and soul, according well, May make one music as before, But vaster.
Quote by -Alfred Lord Tennyson
Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be… And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

Quote by -Alfred Lord Tennyson
May make my heart as a milestone, set my face as a flint, cheat and be cheated, and die: who knows? we are ashes and dust.

I fain would follow love, if that could be; I needs must follow death, who calls for me; Call and I follow, I follow! let me die.
