Nature, red in tooth and claw

Because I couldn't remember above line, my Poetry Friday poem are some verses from In Memoriam A.H.H. by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Never ever forget Tennyson!!!

I hold it true, whate'er befall;

I feel it when I sorrow most;

'Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.

+++

Who trusted God was love indeed

And love Creation's final law

Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw

With ravine, shriek'd against his creed

+++

So runs my dream, but what am I?

An infant crying in the night

An infant crying for the light

And with no language but a cry.

The most quoted lines of the poem (wikipedia tells me). In my first year in college, I learned what those lines meant... I feel stupid, because I forgot. I'll have to do some serious reading!
