Alfred Lord Tennyson

Poet Laureate to Queen Victoria.

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

... and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

'Tis not too late to seek a newer world

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

Huh! Just went to fill in my birthday here on my Twitter profile and they only let you go back to 1890! Ridiculous!

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

'I am become a name; For always roaming with a hungry heart'

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

Goodness me! I'm 206 years old today. How time flies!

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

And after all, when all is said and done: 'Who is wise in love, love most, say least.'

My friend, with you to live alone, Were how much better than to own
A crown, a sceptre, and a throne!

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

O strengthen me, enlighten me! I faint in this obscurity, Thou dewy dawn of memory

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

The ever-shifting currents of the blood According to my humour ebb and flow.

"Freckled nest-eggs thou shalt see
Hatching in the hawthorn-tree"
Fancy, Keats

Wishing you all a Joyful Easter. "Once in a golden hour I cast to earth a seed. Up there came a flower, The people said, a weed."

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

O living will that shalt endure, When all that seems shall suffer shock, Rise in the spiritual rock, Flow thro' our deeds and make them pure

[Alfred Lord Tennyson @LordTennyson]

Oh, I say, this is jolly good. It's all about yours truely. http://t.co/u0B6igCfsm

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