Alfred, Lord Tennyson Quotes about Virgil

“Sound for ever of Imperial Rome.”

“Roman Virgil, thou that singest Ilion's lofty temples robed in fire.”

“My lord, you know what Virgil sings— Woman is various and most mutable.”

“Thou that seest Universal Nature moved by Universal Mind; Thou majestic in thy sadness at the doubtful doom of human kind.”

“I salute thee, Mantovano, I that loved thee since my day began, Wielder of the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man.”

“Thou that singest wheat and woodland, tilth and vineyard, hive and horse and herd; All the charm of all the Muses often flowering in a lonely word.”
