Ah, love, - you are my unutterable blessing.....I am in full sunshine now.

O never star Was lost here We all aspire to heaven and there is heaven Above us. If I stoop Into a dark tremendous sea of cloud, It is but for a time I press God's lamp Close to my breast its splendor soon or late Will pierce the gloom. I shall emerge some day.
Robert Browning
Love is the energy of life.
Robert Browning
All service ranks the same with God,- With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first.
Robert Browning
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
Robert Browning
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
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
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so life's business being just the terrible choice.
Robert Browning
