Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Flower in the Crannied Wall



Flower in the crannied wall,

I pluck you out of the crannies,

I hole you here, root and all, in my hand,

Little flower-but if I could understand

What you are, root and all, and all in all,

I should know what God and man is.



The longest belief known to man is God created Earth, man, and animal. Everything that breathes, moves or thinks, was created by this one all knowing power. Nothing on this Earth was made without a design. Tennyson adressed philiophical issues and offered many ways of resolving them. "And yet to some nineteenth centry artists and believers, modern science's scrutiny of nature was a threat."- Elements of Literature
