Image
I do what many dream of, all their lives
Robert Browning
Image

Image
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.

Robert Browning

The sad rhyme of the men who proudly clung To their first fault, and withered in their pride.
Robert Browning
Image
Be sure they sleep not whom God needs.
Robert Browning
Image
That's the wise thrush he sings each song twice over, lest you should think he never could recapture the first fine careless rapture!
Robert Browning
Image
All we have gained then by our unbelief Is a life of doubt diversified by faith, For one of faith diversified by doubt: We called the chess-board white-we call it black.
Robert Browning
Image
The great beacon light God sets in all, the conscience of each bosom.
