Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 5, 1809 - October 6, 1892
Birthday: August 5
Death: October 6
And so the Word had breath, and wrought With human hands the creed of creeds In loveliness of perfect deeds, More strong than all poetic thoughts; Which he may read that binds the sheaf, Or builds the house, or digs the grave, And those wild eyes that watch the waves In roarings round the coral reef.
