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.
Cute poem from a famous poet from another era. I love the old fashion grammar. It gives a tender pose to the poem.Congrats to the family of the poet upon being chosen as The Classic Poem Of The Day. Hurray for his descendants.

The spell of mesmerizing beauty has been depicted in an awesome word picture. Wee deserved classic poem of the day.
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.
Beauty and bliss go hand in hand. Tennyson, the wonderful romantic poet. Kudos!
Tennyson's poems are perfect in composition and a model to follow by new poets ever! Message of the poem my be great or moderate, poem is wonderful to read!
A thing of beauty brings joy forever atleast for some and torment for others..
a poem full of the emotions felt when in the presence of Beauty.............beautifully written
One day, I'm going to try this out when a beautiful woman walks by me.
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.
