Alfred Tennyson

Alfred Tennyson was the human poet who penned All Things Will Die which was mulled over by Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones. (AUDIO: Lost Souls)
To better underline his high confidence before he, the Third Doctor and Jo Grant were brought before the Draconian Emperor, quoted the passage, "my strength is as the strength of ten, because my heart is pure" from Tennyson's poem Sir Gallahad. (TV: Frontier in Space)
Another poem by Tennyson was Ulysses, which the sentient warp ship Tartarus anachronistically quoted during her encounter with the Fifth Doctor in the 1st century BC. The Doctor recognised the anachronistic poem, and surmised she must have absorbed it when cross-referencing Earth culture. (AUDIO: Tartarus)
