While I wish I had said any one thing the Alfred Tennyson said, this is not only my favorite of his, but of all poetry I've ever read.
CIRCUMSTANCE Two children in two neighbor villages Playing mad pranks along the heathy leas; Two strangers meeting at a festival; Two lovers whispering by an orchard wall: Two lives bound fast in one with golden ease; Two graves grass-green beside a gray church-tower, Wash’d with still rains and daisy-blossomed; Two children in one hamlet born and bred: So runs the round of life from hour to hour.
