“I envy not in any moods” is the twenty-seventh stanza of the In Memoriam A.H.H, written by Alfred Tennyson (l809-1892). Thackeray once asked, “if we love still those we lose, can we altogether lose those we love?” Poet Laureate Tennyson gave his answer in this poem. “Tis better to have loved and lost /Than never to have loved at all.” True love is last, true life is born of death. It is the experience of love and being loved that matters in life.
