While we're on it, is Alfred the last name or was he really a Lord or that's his last name or what? (If I want to write it like Browning, Robert, how should I do it with his name?)
Anyway, this person once wrote In Memoriam and there's the lines: "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" or something like that. I think I agree, but I don't really know why, so what are your opinions on why it's true?
When you love and you lose, it feels bad, but atleast you feel.
When you never love at all you don't feel, you don't experience.
What if you could make a choice and never feel any pain again -- but you would also never feel pleasure again. Would you take that offer?
Tennyson was saying that no matter how bad his heart would be broken he'd always take a chance on love because he'd rather experience love for a second, and then deal with the pain that comes when you lose it, than go through life knowing neither the pleasure of love nor the sorrow of losing it.
