The Lotos-Eaters and Choric Song Quotes

“Hateful is the dark-blue sky,
Vaulted o'er the dark-blue sea.
Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?”
― Alfred Tennyson, The Lotos-Eaters and Choric Song

“Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tir'd eyelids upon tir'd eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.”
― Alfred Tennyson, The Lotos-Eaters and Choric Song
