Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, the little children's dower.
Robert Browning
Truth never hurt the teller.
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

Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Stand still, true poet that you are! I know you let me try and draw you. Some night you'll fail us: when afar You rise, remember one man saw you, Knew you, and named a star!
Robert Browning
I say, the acknowledgment of God in ChristAccepted by thy reason, solves for theeAll questions in the earth and out of it,And has so far advanced thee to be wise.
Robert Browning
Strike when thou wilt, the hour of rest, but let my last days be my best.
Robert Browning
No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.
Robert Browning
I give the fight up: let there be an end, a privacy, an obscure nook for me. I want to be forgotten even by God.
Robert Browning
If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens.
Robert Browning
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
Robert Browning
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
Robert Browning
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
