Quote by Alfred Lord Tennyson

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved

Summary

This quote suggests that although experiencing the pain of losing someone we love is difficult, it is ultimately more fulfilling to have loved them in the first place. The joys and lasting memories of love surpass the sorrow of loss, making it a worthwhile and enriching experience. It highlights the importance of taking risks and opening ourselves up to love, even if it may lead to heartache in the end, as the alternative of never experiencing love would be far more regrettable.

So in all these little ways we spin a web, a cocoon, around ourselves. The cocoon becomes nice and snug and comfortable because it is very familiar. We know every little corner of our life; we can even write poetry about it. We may also have ideas about the great mystery which religions speak of, which gives our cocoon an especial sense of security: we can worship the great mystery outside of it and feel good about that. The cocoon is safe, bounded, claustrophobic, and a little stale. We settle into it and live our lives.
