In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 042

I vex my heart with fancies dim:

He still outstript me in the race;

It was but unity of place

That made me dream I rank'd with him.

 

And so may Place retain us still,

And he the much-beloved again,

A lord of large experience, train

To riper growth the mind and will:

 

And what delights can equal those

That stir the spirit's inner deeps,

When one that loves but knows not, reaps

A truth from one that loves and knows?

Alfred Lord Tennyson
