Alfred Tennyson,
In Memoriam (Tennyson) — Canto XCIV.
(1850)
“ He fought his doubts and gather'd strength, He would not make his judgment blind, He faced the spectres of the mind And laid them: thus he came at length To find a stronger faith his own; And Power was with him in the night, Which makes the darkness and the light, And dwells not in the light alone ”
