Alfred Tennyson

“ And act and love, a closer link
Betwixt us and the crowning race
Of those that, eye to eye, shall look
On knowledge; under whose command
Is Earth and Earth's, and in their hand
Is Nature like an open book ”

“ One God, one law, one element,
And one far-off divine event,
To which the whole creation moves. ”

“ wearing all that weight
Of learning lightly like a flower. ”
