- Let me place the author for you. It is, in fact, Alfred Lord Tennyson
- (1809-1892). The quote reads:
-
- 'Tis better to have loved and lost
- Than never to have loved at all.
-
- This comes from Im Memoriam (written in memory of Arthur Henry Hallam
- in 1850), line 27, stanza 4.
-
- All the above from Bartlett's, 16th edition, p.457.
