"She could identify the brightest individual stars amidst that radiant swarm..."
-Poul Anderson, "Lodestar" IN Anderson, David Falkayn: Star Trader (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 631-680 AT p. 642.
"His trained gaze could still find its way among constellations that had changed, some beyond recognition, and were nearly drowned in the number of stars that shone through airlessness."
-Poul Anderson, Mirkheim IN Anderson, Rise Of The Terran Empire (Riverdale, NY, 2011), pp. 1-291 AT pp. 78-79.
Falkayn also recalls poetry:
"I am a part of all that I have met..."
-Mirkheim, p. 79.
For the poem quoted, see here.
Lastly, for this morning, Dominic Flandry seems to allude to that same poem. See Ilion.

Kaor, Paul!
I read the poem by Lord Tennyson that you quoted and while I see how you could think Flandry was alluding to those verses, I think the possible allusion too vague to definitely say Flandry had Tennyson in mind. We DO see Aycharaych quoting Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "A Musical Instrument" in A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS.
