Curious analogy in Tennyson's "Love and Death"

[billy]

i know this off topic almost but maybe that's why i dislike this tennyson fellow, he could have lied.

so heaven isn't all boozing drugs sex and rock and roll then?
i really am struggling with his concept of death. which should be nothing sinister as he portrays it to be here. it shouldn't be waiting for us, it's us who should be waiting for it.
