Tennyson uses old-fashioned English-'thee', 'canst thou'- in parts, but the poem has a modern tone. 'Beauty' sounds like a beautiful woman, or it could be any form of beauty. Well worth reading.

Like the soldiers who were made drowsy by the Lotos Fruits, Tennyson the great has again created a character who is infatuated with the beauty of beauty so successfully.

The bare word KISS hath made my inner soul To tremble like a lutestring, ere the note Hath melted in the silence that it broke.....touching expression with nice theme. It is a beautiful poem composed by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

My arms about thee—scarcely dare to speak. And nothing seems to me so wild and bold, As with one kiss to touch thy blessèd cheek. Methinks if I should kiss thee, no control Within the thrilling brain could keep afloat great great great expression great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lot of life existed beyond beauty, beyond what was traditionally, even in a feudal, royal, imperial vein, and in a mind set up and contemporaneously judged as beautiful.Too much obsession with beauty, combination of colour, nose, lip, eyes, cheek bone is not good for human civilisation, with due respect todeparted soul of Lord Tennyson.We need to switch over to more important aspects than ascriptive ones.head and heart.However, robust romanticism of the poet and his inner soul trembling like lute string at th every thought of kiss is superb.
