Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Stand still, true poet that you are! I know you let me try and draw you. Some night you'll fail us: when afar You rise, remember one man saw you, Knew you, and named a star!
Robert Browning
Truth never hurt the teller.
Robert Browning
But there are times when patience proves at fault.
Robert Browning
