Alfred Tennyson citáty

page 8

„Láska je príliš cenná na to, aby sa strácala.“

„Opravdivo niekoho milovať znamená nielen túžiť po tom, aby mu ten druhý bol verný, ale aj osobne sa zaviazať na túto vernosť.“

„Lepšie je milovať a stratiť, ako nikdy nemilovať.“

„Šťastie človeka v tomto živote nespočíva v absencii, ale v ovládaní jeho vášní.“

„Keď sa mi v mlynský kameň obráti srdce, stratím tvár.
Klamať, byť oklamaný zomrieť. Ktovie? Sme popol a prach.“

“He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.”

“Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right —
The leaves upon her falling light —
Thro' the noises of the night,
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turn'd to tower'd Camelot.
For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.”
