The question is based on Tennyson's poem titled "In Memoriam".
Tennyson expresses some of his most profound skepticisms about the purpose of life and man's role in the cosmos in Section 54 of "In Memoriam."
Tennyson wrote the complete poem to work through his sadness at the death of his close friend Arthur Hallam, who passed away at the age of 22, most likely from a stroke.
This paragraph was most likely written approximately a year after Hallam passed away. There are many areas that exhibit different levels of religious belief. Even though the poet mentions God in this passage, he seems to be having trouble accepting the notion that a benevolent God could permit horrible things to occur.
Tennyson urged us to maintain our confidence in a higher power despite our incapacity to demonstrate God's presence in "In Memoriam," writing, "Believing where we cannot show."
In his belief that man is evolving into something greater over millions of years, he mirrors early evolutionary notions.
