Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: August 5, 1809 - October 6, 1892
Birthday: August 5
Death: October 6
Sweet is true love though given in vain, in vain; And sweet is death who puts an end to pain: I know not which is sweeter, no, not I. Love, art thou sweet? then bitter death must be: Love, thou art bitter; sweet is death to me. O Love, if death be sweeter, let me die. ... 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.
