Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Youth means love, Vows can't change nature, priests are only men.
Robert Browning
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
Robert Browning
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
