Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892) was an English poet. He was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign. In 1829 he was awarded the Chancellor's Gold Medal at Cambridge for one of his first pieces, "Timbuktu". He published his first solo collection of poems, Poems, Chiefly Lyrical, in 1830. "Claribel" and "Mariana", which remain some of Tennyson's most celebrated poems, were included in this volume. Although described by some critics as overly sentimental, his poems ultimately proved popular and brought Tennyson to the attention of well-known writers of the day, including Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Tennyson's early poetry, with its medievalism and powerful visual imagery, was a major influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Tennyson also focused on short lyrics, such as "Break, Break, Break", "The Charge of the Light Brigade", "Tears, Idle Tears", and "Crossing the Bar". Much of his verse was based on classical mythological themes, such as "Ulysses" and "The Lotos-Eaters". "In Memoriam A.H.H." was written to commemorate his friend Arthur Hallam, a fellow poet and student at Trinity College, Cambridge, after he died of a stroke at the age of 22. Tennyson also wrote notable blank verse, including Idylls of the King, "Ulysses", and "Tithonus". During his career, Tennyson attempted drama, but his plays enjoyed little success.

A number of phrases from Tennyson's work have become commonplace in the English language, including "Nature, red in tooth and claw" ("In Memoriam A.H.H."), "'Tis better to have loved and lost / Than never to have loved at all", "Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die", "My strength is as the strength of ten, / Because my heart is pure", "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield", "Knowledge comes, but Wisdom lingers", and "The old order changeth, yielding place to new". He is the ninth most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

Probably not one of his most "worthy" but one of my favourites - I love the imagery:

Good morning!

Have fun out and about, kittykatt! I just realized you call it supper too, I usually see dinner being used and feel like the odd one out.

Helia, cheers to productivity and prayers for safe travels.

Kitkat, you must be the reason I had to have ice cream last night and the scale was up this morning. I’m picking up on your ice cream vibes.

Today started with a bang, 2 early phone calls, so I hit the ground running and actually have tadas this early. A friend of dh’s lost her mother this week, ordering flowers. Culligan coming out for annual treatment/inspection.

Silly story - I started crying on the phone with the florist. I’ve never met this woman that I can recall! But I read her obituary, her 1st husband died in a car accident when she was 21 w 2 babies, she remarried several years later and had another baby, her 2nd husband died in a car accident when the baby was 3, she eventually remarried again and he lived a lot longer than the first two but also passed before she did, she had cancer and died before she reached 80yo. What a life!
