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
Image
Love is the energy of life.
Robert Browning

Love is energy of life.
Robert Browning
Image

The sad rhyme of the men who proudly clung To their first fault, and withered in their pride.
Robert Browning
Image
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe!
Robert Browning
Image
Unless you can love, as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you Unless you can dream that his faith is fast, Through behoving and unbeloving Unless you can die when the dream is past- Oh, never call it loving!
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.
