"But who shall so forecast the years
And find in loss a gain to match?
Or reach a hand through time to catch
The far-off interest of tears"
Tennyson was a very smart man, indeed! He's saying that that you can't see past the death and devastation. He was a beautiful writer and poet, but he was a business man as well. He was educated in investments.
He loved Hallam; I love Sikes.
Is my love for Sikes, my investment in him worth it? Can it be that one day I will mourn Sikes just as Tennyson mourns Hallam? He does do terrible things, but I do love him so. But how terrible he is to the poor boys and to Oliver as well.
I don't know. I have invested much in him - but is it worth it?
