Lord Tennyson can suck it

[Very_Bad_Man]

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.

Obviously Alfred never lost half his shit in divorce court.

 

[renard_ruse]

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.

Obviously Alfred never lost half his shit in divorce court.

You're such a romantic.

 

[GracefullyYours]

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.

Obviously Alfred never lost half his shit in divorce court.

Shakespeare understood:

"Naught’s had, all’s spent,
Where our desire is got without content." Macbeth Act 3, Scene 2, Lines 6-7

 

[Morcheeba]

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.

Obviously Alfred never lost half his shit in divorce court.

Did you or is this about Mel Gibson having to give half of his earnings to the mother of his fifty children?

 

[RobDownSouth]

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.

Obviously Alfred never lost half his shit in divorce court.

Every time I read that quatrain, I keep wondering if Tennyson was somehow trying to rhyme "most" with "lost".
