Robert Browning
Image
To me at least was never evening yet, but seemed far beautifuller than its day.
Robert Browning
Image

Robert Browning
Image

Robert Browning
Image
Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.
Robert Browning
Image
How he lies in his rights of a man! Death has done all death can. And absorbed in the new life he leads, He recks not, he heeds Nor his wrong nor my vengeance both strike On his senses alike, And are lost in the solemn and strange Surprise of the change.
Robert Browning

Robert Browning
Image
All service ranks the same with God,- With God, whose puppets, best and worst, Are we: there is no last nor first.
Robert Browning
Image
Progress is The law of life: man is not Man as yet.
Robert Browning
Image
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.
Robert Browning
Image
That great brow And the spirit-small hand propping it.
Robert Browning
Image
O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.
Robert Browning
Image
There's a new tribunal now higher than God's -The educated man's!
Robert Browning
Image
Of power does Man possess no particle: Of knowledge-just so much as show that still It ends in ignorance on every side.
Robert Browning
Image
Lost, lost! one moment knelled the woe of years.
Robert Browning
Image
Be sure they sleep not whom God needs.
Robert Browning
Image
Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.
