‘Hateful is the dark-blue sky’ (Lord Alfred Tennyson)

Armand, Murray Bartlett, recites these lines at the very end of episode 5 in The White Lotus, a miniseries on TV:

IV
‘Hateful is the dark-blue sky,
Vaulted o’er the dark-blue sea.
Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?’

The Lotos-eaters

Lord Alfred Tennyson

This character is my favourite one. Maybe, his rare bird air makes him attractive to me. I don’t know.
