Alfred Tennyson is one of the poets I like very much with his ability to involve a sea of emotion in lines and verses and gathering images from myths and realities, all appealing to the human heart!

And love is an emotion of this kind That multiplies with the lover demise And you keep seeing her day and night Till one day you join her in astral light............ All ye poets reading this welcome to my page too...
