Tennyson, Princess, p. 89.
4. "He who for love hath undergone
The worst that can befall,
Is happier thousandfold than one
Who never loved at all."
M. Milnes, To Myrzha, on returning.
"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."
