In Memoriam Ahh Quotes

I sometimes hold it half a sin To put in words the grief I feel; For words, like Nature, half reveal And half conceal the Soul within. But, for the unquiet heart and brain, A use in measured language lies; The sad mechanic exercise, Like dull narcotics, numbing pain. In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er, Like coarsest clothes against the cold: But that large grief which these enfold Is given in outline and no more. In Memoriam A.H.H. Section 5

Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown’d, Let darkness keep her raven gloss: Ah, sweeter to be drunk with loss, To dance with death, to beat the ground. —Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “In Memoriam A.H.H.

IN MEMORIAM A.H.H. by Alfred Tennyson

Our little systems have their day; They have their day and cease to be: They are but broken lights of thee, And thou, O Lord, art more than they." --Lord Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H.
