More quotes by Robert Browning
All's love, yet all's law.
Robert Browning
Would you have your songs endure? Build on the human heart.
Robert Browning
Sorrow, the heart must bear, Sits in the home of each, conspicuous there. Many a circumstance, at least, Touches the very breast. For those Whom any sent away,--he knows: And in the live man's stead, Armor and ashes reach The house of each.
Robert Browning
Oh the wild joys of living! The leaping from rock to rock ... the cool silver shock of the plunge in a pool's living waters.
Robert Browning
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
Inscribe all human effort with one word, artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Robert Browning
Pleasure must succeed to pleasure, else past pleasure turns to pain
Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
Robert Browning
A pretty woman's worth some pains to see.
Robert Browning
Mid the sharp, short emerald wheat, scarce risen three fingers well, The wild tulip at the end of its tube, blows out its great red bell, Like a thin clear bubble of blood, for the children to pick and sell.
Robert Browning
Only I discern Infinite passion, and the pain Of finite hearts that yearn.
Robert Browning
Into the street the piper stepped, Smiling first a little smile As if he knew what magic slept In his quiet pipe the while. And the piper advanced And the children followed.
Robert Browning
Shakespeare was of us, Milton was of us, Burns, Shelley, were with us. They watch from their graves!
Robert Browning
Have you found your life distasteful? My life did, and does, smack sweet. Was your youth of pleasure wasteful? Mine I saved and hold complete. Do your joys with age diminish? When mine fail me, I'll complain. Must in death your daylight finish? My sun sets to rise again.
Robert Browning
In this world, who can do a thing, will not And who would do it, cannot, I perceive: Yet the will's somewhat — somewhat, too, the power — And thus we half-men struggle.
Robert Browning
Time'swheelsrunsbackor stops: Potterand clayendure.
Robert Browning
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
You never know what life means till you die even throughout life, tis death that makes life live.
Robert Browning
Love, hope, fear, faith - these make humanity These are its sign and note and character.
Robert Browning
All poetry is difficult to read - The sense of it anyhow.
