Poetry
Tennyson
All is well, tho' faith and form
Be sunder'd in the night of fear.
o ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, In Memoriam
Forward, forward let us range,
Let the great world spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change.
o ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, Locksley Hall
For man is man and master of his fate.
o ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Idylls of the King
O hard, when love and duty clash!
o ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Princess
The dirty nurse, Experience, in her kind
Hath foul'd me.

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?
o ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON, The Higher Pantheism
I cannot rest from travel; I will drink life to the lees.

For every worm beneath the moon
Draws different threads, and late and soon
Spins, toiling out his own cocoon.

All the windy ways of men
Are but dust that rises up,
And is lightly laid again.
o ALFRED TENNYSON, The Vision of Sin
No life that breathes with human breath
Has ever truly long'd for death.

Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

The importance of being Earnest
Jack: I am in love with Gwendolen. I have come up to town expressly to propose to her.
Algernon: I thought you had come up for pleasure?...I call that business.
o Speakers: Algernon Moncrieff, Jack
o Mentioned or related: Gwendolen Fairfax
I really dont see anything romantic in proposing. It is very romantic to be in love. But there is nothing
romantic about a definite proposal.
o Speaker: Algernon Moncrieff
Even before I met you I was far from indifferent to youmy ideal has always been to love some one of
the name of Ernest. There is something in that name that inspires absolute confidence.
o Speaker: Gwendolen Fairfax
o Mentioned or related: Jack
Dr. Chausible: But is a man not equally attractive when married?
o Miss Prism: No married man is ever attractive except to his wife.
o Speakers: Dr. Chasuble, Miss Prism
I think it has been a great success. Im in love with Cecily, and that is everything.
o Speaker: Algernon Moncrieff
o Mentioned or related: Cecily Cardew
The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man. And certainly once a man begins to neglect
his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not? And I don't like that. It makes men so
very attractive.
o Speaker: Gwendolen Fairfax
How absurd to talk of the equality of the sexes!
o Speaker: Gwendolen Fairfax

I would never dream of doing anything you didnt want me to.
o Speaker: Nora Helmer
o Mentioned or related: Torvald Helmer

married, it even used to make him sort of jealous if I only as much as mentioned any of my old friends
back home. So of course I stopped doing it.
o Mentioned or related: Torvald Helmer
Tell me what to do, keep me rightas you always do.
o Mentioned or related: Torvald Helmer
But my dear darling Nora, you are dancing as though your life depended on it.
o Mentioned or related: Nora Helmer
A heartless woman throws a man over the moment something more profitable offers itself.
o Speaker: Nils Krogstad
o Mentioned or related: Kristine Linde
I wouldnt be a proper man if I didnt find a woman doubly attractive for being so obviously helpless.
I have been your doll wife, just as at home I was Daddys doll child
o Mentioned or related: Torvald Helmer
I believe that first and foremost I am an individual, just as much as you are
