With an Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Karen Hodder.

Although Tennyson (1809-1892) has often seemed to personify the Victorian Age, he was a poet before it began and his poems endure to speak clearly to this modern one. His mastery of a great variety of poetic forms and moods enables him to communicate such extremes of feeling as ‘calm despair and wild unrest’; rapturous love: ‘the soul of the rose went into my blood’; and noble resolve:

…One equal temper of heroic hearts / Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors.The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself.
