Robert Browning
Image
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

Robert Browning
Image
We mortals cross the ocean of this world Each in his average cabin of a life The bests not big, the worst yields elbowroom.
Robert Browning

Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat.
Robert Browning
Image
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

What I aspired to be and was not, comforts me.
