Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes About Evil

Quotes about: Evil

• Are God and Nature then at strife, That Nature lends such evil dreams? So careful of the type she seems, So careless of the single life; ... 'So careful of the type', but no. From scarped cliff and quarried stone She cries, 'A thousand types are gone: I care for nothing, all shall go' ... Man, her last work, who seemed so fair, Such splendid purpose in his eyes, Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies, Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer, Who trusted God was love indeed And love Creation's final law- Tho' Nature red in tooth and claw With ravine, shrieked against his creed.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Dream, Nature, Prayer

  Alfred Lord Tennyson, “Obiit MDCCCXXXIIi (Entire)”

• Lady, for indeed
  I loved you and I deemed you beautiful,
  I cannot brook to see your beauty marred
  Through evil spite: and if ye love me not,
  I cannot bear to dream you so forsworn:
  I had liefer ye were worthy of my love,
  Than to be loved again of you - farewell;
  And though ye kill my hope, not yet my love,
  Vex not yourself: ye will not see me more.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Life, Beautiful, Dream

• Shall the hag Evil die with the child of Good, Or propagate again her loathèd kind, Thronging the cells of the diseased mind, Hateful with hanging cheeks, a withered brood, Though hourly pastured on the salient blood?

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

  Children, Cells, Blood

• Is there evil but on earth? Or pain in every peopled sphere?
  Well, be grateful for the sounding watchword "Evolution" here.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson
