Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson, In Memoria

I hold it true,what'er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;'Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.

I hold it true,what'er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;

Summary

This quote expresses the idea that the pain of losing love is worth experiencing because the feeling of love itself is invaluable. The speaker believes that even though heartbreak might be devastating, it is far superior to never having experienced love at all. It suggests that the joy and fulfillment derived from experiencing love outweigh the sorrow and loss that might accompany it, making it a fundamental and necessary part of the human experience.
