Tithonus Quotes

“Here at the quiet limit of the world.”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson, Tithonus

“Me only cruel immortality
Consumes: I wither slowly in thine arms,
Here at the quiet limit of the world,
A white-hair'd shadow roaming like a dream
The ever-silent spaces of the East,
Far-folded mists, and gleaming halls of morn.”
― Alfred Tennyson, Tithonus

“The woods decay, the woods decay and fall,
The vapours weep their burthen to the ground,
Man comes and tills the field and lies beneath,
And after many a summer dies the swan.”
― Alfred Tennyson, Tithonus
