"It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides..."
I have a weird relationship with Tennyson. On the one hand, he bores me at best and pisses me off at worst. On the other hand, there are just a few bits and pieces of his that can move me, or, in some contexts, even make me cry.
And boy do I love pathos.
"Come, my friends. 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world."
