More quotes by Robert Browning
how sad and bad and mad it was - but then, how it was sweet
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
God smiles as He has always smiled Ere suns and moons could wax and wane, Ere stars were thundergirt, or piled The Heavens, God thought on me His child Ordained a life for me, arrayed Its circumstances, every one To the minutest ay, God said This head this hand should rest upon Thus, ere He fashioned star or sun.

Robert Browning
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
Robert Browning
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
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
But God has a few of us to whom he whispers in the ear The rest may reason and welcome 'tis we musicians know.
Robert Browning
What's the earth With all its art, verse, music, worth — Compared with love, found, gained, and kept?
Robert Browning
Thought is the soul of act.
Robert Browning
Truth that peeps Over the glass's edge when dinner's done.
