• La oración actúa en la mente como una fuerza curativa. Calma al paciente, ilumina al médico, guía al cirujano, y a menudo aplica victoriosamente el poder del espíritu cuando todo parece perdido. Demuestra, una y otra vez, la verdad de las palabras de Tennyson: "La oración hace más cosas de las que este mundo sueña". La oración nos pone del lado de Dios. Nos alinea con los propósitos, objetivos e ideales más elevados de la vida. Orar es dedicar nuestros pensamientos, sentimientos y acciones a la expresión del bien. Es llegar a ser como una ventana a través de la cual brilla la luz de Dios.

• Mr. Tennyson has said that more things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of, but he wisely refrains from saying whether they are good or bad things.

• Tennyson parece ser el santo patrón de los wishy washies, y quizá por eso le admiro tanto, no sólo como poeta, sino como hombre.

• My office walls are covered with autographs of famous writers - it's what my children call my 'dead author wall.' I have signatures from Mark Twain, Earnest Hemingway, Jack London, Harriett Beecher Stowe, Pearl Buck, Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, to name a few.

• This is why it is good to remember: if you want to get high, don’t drink whiskey; read Shakespeare, Tennyson, Keats, Neruda, Hopkins, Millay, Whitman, aloud and let your body sing.

• [In response to Alfred Tennyson's poem "Vision of Sin," which included the line "Every moment dies a man, every moment one is born."] If this were true, the population of the world would be at a stand-still. In truth, the rate of birth is slightly in excess of death. I would suggest that the next edition of your poem should read: "Every moment dies a man, every moment 1 [and] 1/16 is born." Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 [and] 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.

• Todos los pájaros durante la época de emparejamiento se vuelven más o menos sentimentales, y murmuran suaves naderías en un tono muy diferente a la repetición y volumen de su canto habitual. El cuervo es muy cómico como amante; y oírle intentar suavizar su graznido al estándar apropiado de Saint-Preux tiene algo del efecto de un barquero del Mississippi citando a Tennyson.

• I view askance a book that remains undisturbed for a year. Oughtn't it to have a ticket of leave? I think I may safely say no bookin my library remains unopened a year at a time, except my own works and Tennyson's.

• The novel may be dead as a commercial form. When art forms things die as commercial forms, something happens to the practice of those arts that isn't very pleasant. It used to be that a poet like Tennyson could keep his house and his coach-and-four and his staff of six servants on the income from poetry. That doesn't happen anymore.

• La abejita regresa con la penumbra de la tarde,
  a reunirse con sus camaradas en la colmena trenzada,
  Donde, alojadas junto a su poderoso panal,
  Sueñan que su política sobrevivirá mucho tiempo.
  Charles Tennyson Turner - Una noche de verano en la colmena
  La felicidad de la abeja y el delfín es existir.
  Para el hombre es saberlo y maravillarse de ello.

• Home they brought her warrior dead: She nor swooned, nor uttered cry: All her maidens, watching, said, 'She must weep or she will die.' Then they praised him, soft and low, Called him worthy to be loved, Truest friend and noblest foe; Yet she neither spoke nor moved. Stole a maiden from her place, Lightly to the warrior stepped, Took the face-cloth from the face; Yet she neither moved nor wept. Rose a nurse of ninety years, Set his child upon her knee- Like summer tempest came her tears- 'Sweet my child, I live for thee.' -Alfred Lord Tennyson

• If there is one word that describes the meaning of character, it is the word honor. Without honor, civilization would not long exist. Without honor, there could be no dependable contracts, no lasting marriages, no trust or happiness. What does the word honor mean to you? To me, honor is summarized in this expression by the poet Tennyson, "Man's word [of honor] is God in man."

  Ezra Taft Benson

• Me parece muy extraño que, mientras que Tennyson podía apoyar la mayoría de las propuestas del Sr. Buckley sobre el libre comercio, el sector privado y la empresa privada, Tennyson no encontrara ninguna dificultad en prestar apoyo intelectual a la idea de la liberación de la mujer.

• Contemporary fantasists all bow politely to Lord Tennyson and Papa Tolkien, then step around them to go back to the original texts for inspiration--and there are a lot of those texts. We have King Arthur and his gang in English; we've got Siegfried and Brunhild in German; Charlemagne and Roland in French; El Cid in Spanish; Sigurd the Volsung in Icelandic; and assorted 'myghtiest Knights on lyfe' in a half-dozen other cultures. Without shame, we pillage medieval romance for all we're worth.

• It does, Tennyson, because there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance. There’s a fine line between being assertive and being a bully. And you’re on the wrong side of both lines.

• I get no sense from his note at all,” said Will, bounding to his feet, “except that he can quote Tennyson’s lesser poetry. Sophie, how quickly can you have Tessa ready?” “Half an hour,” said Sophie, not looking up from the dress. “Meet me in the courtyard in half an hour, then,” said Will. “I’ll wake Cyril. And be prepared to swoon at my finery.

• La química ejerce sobre el algebrista la misma influencia estimulante y sugestiva que una visita a la Royal Academy o a los viejos maestros puede ejercer sobre Browning o Tennyson. De hecho, me parece que existe una homología exacta entre la pintura y la poesía, por un lado, y la química moderna y el álgebra moderna, por otro. En la poesía y el álgebra tenemos la idea pura elaborada y expresada a través del vehículo del lenguaje, en la pintura y la química la idea envuelta en materia, dependiendo en parte de procesos manuales y de los recursos del arte para su debida manifestación.

• Tennyson and Browning are poets, and they think; but they do not feel their thought as immediately as the odour of a rose. A thought to Donne was an experience; it modified his sensibility.
