Alfred Lord Tennyson Quotes About Purpose

Quotes about: Purpose

• Science moves, but slowly, slowly, creeping on from point to point. ...
  Yet I doubt not through the ages one increasing purpose runs,
  And the thoughts of men are widened with the process of the suns. ...
  Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.

  "Ulysses" l. 59 (1842)

• 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.
