Alfred Tennyson wrote this after his best friend, Arthur Hallam, died of epilepsy
"I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
In Memoriam A.H.H. Section 27 (1850)

Alfred, Lord Tennyson. from in "in memoriam".
he's referring to his friend Arthur Hallem who helped him through extreme shyness, then died suddenly of a heart attack while in europe. it affected him so deeply he spent the next 10 years in deep depression; "in memoriam" is tennyson's record of what he went through.
