Image
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Robert Browning
Image
Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.
Robert Browning
Image
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
Image
Lofty designs must close in like effects.
Robert Browning
Image

I see my way as birds their trackless way. I shall arrive,- what time, what circuit first, I ask not but unless God send his hail Or blinding fire-balls, sleet or stifling snow, In some time, his good time, I shall arrive: He guides me and the bird. In his good time.
Robert Browning
Image
If thou tastest a crust of bread, thou tastest all the stars and all the heavens.

How strange now, looks the life he makes us lead So free we seem, so fettered fast we are!
Robert Browning

Praise is deeper than the lips
Robert Browning
Image
Never the time and the place And the loved one all together.
Robert Browning
Image
Best be yourself, imperial, plain, and true.
Robert Browning
Image
What Youth deemed crystal, Age finds out was dew.
Robert Browning
Image
Italy, my Italy! Queen Mary's saying serves for me (When fortune's malice Lost her Calais): Open my heart, and you will see Graved inside of it 'Italy.'
Robert Browning
Image
Of power does Man possess no particle: Of knowledge-just so much as show that still It ends in ignorance on every side.
Robert Browning
Image
Let friend trust friends, and love demand love's like.
