In Reply to: Alfred, Lord Tennyson -- which of his works do you think are not-to-be-missed? nt posted by ereks mom
"Ulysses" is not to be missed, IMO. This is the one that the quote "to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield" comes from. A beautiful poem, with plenty to discuss.
Idylls of the King is great, but *long.* I have my dc read the last section, called "The Passing of Arthur." Wouldn't miss this one either.
I also like "Crossing the Bar" and "St. Simeon Stylites." "The Lady of Shalott" is good too, and often quoted or referred to in art and literature.
