“Should Heaven send me any son, I hope he's not like Tennyson. I'd rather have him play a fiddle Than rise and bow and speak an idyll.”

“I don't suppose {{w|King Arthur|Arthur}} and his Cornish {{w|Knights of the Round Table|knights}} were as gentlemanly as Malorye made them, much less as genteel as Tennyson's heroes, epic shopwalkers in a well-decorated emporium of {{w|sentimentality}}.”

“Tennyson knew his magician's business.”

“Whate'er thy joys, they vanish with the day: Whate'er thy griefs, in sleep they fade away, To sleep! to sleep! Sleep, mournful heart, and let the past be past: Sleep, happy soul, all life will sleep at last.”
