Lord Alfred Tennyson

Tennyson is by far my favorite poet.  His sweeping works are magical.  Born in 1809, he became England's poet laureate in 1850.  My favorite work is Ulysses and the final lines  of this poem which read

     One equal temper of heroic hearts,
     Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
     To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

Other good works is his Arthur and the Charge of the Light Brigade.
