More quotes by Robert Browning
Women hate a debt as men a gift.
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
But there are times when patience proves at fault.
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
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Robert Browning
There is no truer truth obtainable by Man than comes of music
Robert Browning
Generations pass while some tree stands, and old families last not three oaks.
Robert Browning
What of soul was left, I wonder, when the kissing had to stop?
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
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
The ultimate, angels' law, Indulging every instinct of the soul There where law, life, joy, impulse are one thing!
Robert Browning
Tis Man's to explore up and down, inch by inch, with the taper his reason.
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
Say not a small event! Why small? Costs it more pain that this ye call A great event should come to pass From that? Untwine me from the mass Of deeds which make up life, one deed Power shall fall short in or exceed!
Robert Browning
Tis looking downward makes one dizzy.
Robert Browning
There's a new tribunal now higher than God's -The educated man's!
Robert Browning
Was there nought better than to enjoy? No feat which, done, would make time break, And let us pent-up creatures through Into eternity, our due? No forcing earth teach heaven's employ?
Robert Browning
Again the Cousin's whistle! Go, my Love.
Robert Browning
Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?
Robert Browning
Out of your whole life give but a moment! All of your life that has gone before, All to come after it, -so you ignore, So you make perfect the present, condense, In a rapture of rage, for perfection's endowment, Thought and feeling and soul and sense.
Robert Browning
