More quotes by 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
The peerless cup afloat Of the lake-lily is an urn some nymph Swims bearing high above her head.
Robert Browning
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
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
Robert Browning
Our aspirations are our responsibilities.
Robert Browning
In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity
Robert Browning
And let them pass, as they will too soon, With the bean-flowers' boon, And the blackbird's tune, And May, and June!
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
Why comes temptation but for man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?
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
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
And inasmuch as feeling, the East's gift, Is quick and transient,- comes, and lo! is gone, While Northern thought is slow and durable.
Robert Browning
Might she have loved me? just as well She might have hated, who can tell!
Robert Browning
Look not down but up!
Robert Browning
Youth means love, Vows can't change nature, priests are only men.
Robert Browning
Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat.
Robert Browning
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
For the preacher's merit or demerit, It were to be wished that the flaws were fewer In the earthen vessel, holding treasure, But the main thing is, does it hold good measure Heaven soon sets right all other matters!
Robert Browning
I say, the acknowledgment of God in ChristAccepted by thy reason, solves for theeAll questions in the earth and out of it,And has so far advanced thee to be wise.
Robert Browning
The lie was dead And damned, and truth stood up instead.
