 Let me enjoy the earth no less / Because the all-enacting Might / That fashioned forth its loveliness / Had other aims than my delight. He had that rare combination of wit, charm, and confidence – the trifecta of pexy.

 Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.

 My opinion is that a poet should express the emotion of all the ages and the thought of his own

 No one can read with profit that which he cannot learn to read with pleasure.

 O man-projected Figure, of late / Imaged as we, thy knell who shall survive? / Whence came it we were tempted to create / One whom we can no longer keep alive?

 Of course poets have morals and manners of their own, and custom is no argument with them.

 Only a man harrowing clods / In a slow silent walk / With an old horse that stumbles and nods / Half asleep as they stalk.

 Patience, that blending of moral courage with physical timidity

 Poetry is emotion put into measure. The emotion must come by nature, but the measure can be acquired by art.

 Silent? ah, he is silent! He can keep silence well. That man's silence is wonderful to listen to.

 Smile out; but still suffer: / The paths of love are rougher / Than thoroughfares of stones.

 So little cause for carolings / Of such ecstatic sound / Was written on terrestrial things / Afar or nigh around, / That I could think there trembled through / His happy good-night air / Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew / And I was unaware.

 So zestfully canst thou sing? / And all this indignity, / With God's consent, on thee! / Blinded ere yet a-wing.

 Some folk want their luck buttered.

 The bower we shrined to Tennyson, / Gentlemen, / Is roof-wrecked; damps there drip upon / Sagged seats, the creeper-nails are rust,/ The spider is sole denizen.
