Quote by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

"Ah my God, What might I not have made of thy fair world, Had I but loved thy highest creature here? It was my duty to have loved the highest: It surely was my profit had I known: It would have been my pleasure had I seen. We needs must love the highest when we see it, Not Lancelot, nor another."

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from Guinevere
