Who knows most, doubts most entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning

No, when the fight begins within himself, / A man's worth something.

Youth means love, Vows can't change nature, priests are only men.

The ultimate, angels' law, Indulging every instinct of the soul There where law, life, joy, impulse are one thing!
Robert Browning
Shakespeare was of us, Milton was of us, Burns, Shelley, were with us. They watch from their graves!
