6870 Alfred Tennyson Tennyson 1809-1892 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6870
AUTHOR:Alfred Tennyson Tennyson (1809–1892)
QUOTATION:            I am going a long way
With these thou seest—if indeed I go
(For all my mind is clouded with a doubt)—
To the island-valley of Avilion,
Where falls not hail or rain or any snow,
Nor ever wind blows loudly; but it lies
Deep-meadowed, happy, fair with orchard lawns
And bowery hollows crowned with summer sea,
Where I will heal me of my grievous wound.
