Mid the sharp, short emerald wheat, scarce risen three fingers well, The wild tulip at the end of its tube, blows out its great red bell, Like a thin clear bubble of blood, for the children to pick and sell.

More quotes by Robert Browning
You should not take a fellow eight years old and make him swear to never kiss the girls.
Robert Browning
All poetry is difficult to read - The sense of it anyhow.
Robert Browning
Thought is the soul of act.
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
Fair or foul the lot apportioned life on earth, we bear alike.
Robert Browning
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Robert Browning
Aspire, break bounds. Endeavor to be good, and better still, best.
Robert Browning
A face to lose youth for, to occupy age With the dream of, meet death with.
Robert Browning
For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
Robert Browning
One who never turned his back but marched breast forward, never doubted clouds would break, Never dreamed, though right were worsted, wrong would triumph, Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, sleep to wake.
Robert Browning
The great mind knows the power of gentleness.
Robert Browning
Truth is truth howe'er it strike.
Robert Browning
The past is gained, secure, and on record.
Robert Browning
Where the apple reddens never pry - lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Robert Browning
Oh, good gigantic smile o' the brown old earth, This autumn morning! How he sets his bones To bask i' the sun, and thrusts out knees and feet. From the ripple to run over in its mirth
Robert Browning
My care is for myself Myself am whole and sole reality.
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
To me at least was never evening yet, but seemed far beautifuller than its day.
Robert Browning
As is your sort of mind, So is your sort of search: You will find what you desire.
Robert Browning
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
