I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation's final law
Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw

With ravine, shriek'd against his creed

— From Cantos 27 and 56, In Memoriam A.H.H., by Alfred Tennyson, published this year
