Alfred, Lord Tennyson, was born today in 1809, and the Good Place is one of his homes; he wrote of it in 1854,
Where far from smoke and noise of town,
I watch the twilight falling brown,
All round a careless order'd garden,
Close to the ridge of a noble down.
What an interesting writer he was; you can hear the scene when you read...
- The moan of doves in immemorial elms
- And murmuring of innumerable bees.
It's national Root Beer Float Day!
