The Lover's Tale

I've been going through a little drought with my own poetry, but here is a small portion from Tennyson's The Lover's Tale that I like.
In that I live, I love; because I love
I live: whate'er is fountain to the one
Is fountain to the other; and whene'er
Our God unknits the riddle of the one,
There is no shade or fold of mystery
Swathing the other
Those first few lines--"in that I live, I love; because I love, I live"--that is how I try to live my life.
