Robert Browning
Other heights in other lives, God willing.
Robert Browning
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
He guides me and the bird. In His good time!
Robert Browning
If you can sit at set of sun And count the deeds that you have done And counting find oneself-denying act, one word That eased the heart of him that heard. One glance most kind, Which fell like sunshine where he went, Then you may count that day well spent.
Robert Browning
The peerless cup afloat Of the lake-lily is an urn some nymph Swims bearing high above her head.
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
God's justice, tardy though it prove perchance, Rests never on the track until it reach Delinquency.
Robert Browning
There is no truer truth obtainable by Man than comes of music
Robert Browning
