It's from a hella'va long poem called "In Memorium". In 1833, Alfred Lord Tennyson's closest friend died. He was Arthur Hallam, fiance to Tennyson's sister. "In Memoriam"(1850) is an elegy written in honor of Hallam over 17 years.

ehm Nic, you really are asking who's Tennyson?

[azmuse]

well...Nic i think it's Good that you're learning a name or two at a time. that way it's not like everyone throws a stew of author's names at you, and you're left drowning in a puddle asking "whose name am i choking on, now?"
- on the bright! side :)
the bloke known as Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) wrote Charge of the Light Brigade http://www.incompetech.com/authors/tennyson/light.html and Idylls of the King (Arthur & Camelot). he was also Poet Laureate etc. & etc.
