I wish I were the lily's leaf ...

I wish I were the lily's leaf To fade upon that bosom warm, Content to wither, pale and brief, The trophy of thy paler form.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

And lilies are still lilies, p...

And lilies are still lilies, pulled By smutty hands, though spotted from their white.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Very whitely still The lilies ...

Very whitely still The lilies of our lives may reassure Their blossoms from their roots, accessible Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer; Growing straight out of man's reach, on the hill. God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Yet half the beast is the grea...

Yet half the beast is the great god Pan, To laugh, as he sits by the river, Making a poet out of a man. The true gods sigh for the cost and the pain-- For the reed that grows never more again As a reed with the reeds of the river.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

The large white owl that with eye is blind, That hath sate for years in the old tree hollow, Is carried away in a gust of wind.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

There's nothing great Nor small, has said a poet of our day, Whose voice will ring beyond the curfew of eve And not be thrown out by the matin's bell.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

O brave poets, keep back nothing; Nor mix falsehood with the whole! Look up Godward! speak the truth in Worthy song from earnest soul! Hold, in high poetic duty, Truest Truth the fairest Beauty.

You smell a rose through a fence: If two should smell it, what matter?

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Sleep on, Baby, on the floor, ...

Sleep on, Baby, on the floor, Tired of all the playing, Sleep with smile the sweeter for That you dropped away in! On your curls' full roundness stand Golden lights serenely-- One cheek, pushed out by the hand, Folds the dimple inly.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Of all the thoughts of God that are Borne inward unto souls afar, Along the Psalmist's music deep, Now tell me if that any is. For gift or grace, surpassing this-- He giveth His beloved sleep.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

And friends, dear friends,--wh...

And friends, dear friends,--when it shall be That this low breath is gone from me, And gone my bier ye come to weep, Let One, most loving of you all, Say, 'Not a tear must o'er her fall; He giveth His beloved sleep.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Thank God for grace, Ye who we...

Thank God for grace, Ye who weep only! If, as some have done, Ye grope tear-blinded in a desert place And touch but tombs,--look up! Those tears will run Soon in long rivers down the lifted face, And leave the vision clear for stars and sun.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Pray, pray, thou who also weep...

Pray, pray, thou who also weepest,-- And the drops will slacken so; Weep, weep--and the watch thou keepest, With a quicker count will go. Think,--the shadow on the dial For the nature most undone, Marks the passing of the trial, Proves the presence of the sun.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Deep violets, you liken to The...

Deep violets, you liken to The kindest eyes that look on you, Without a thought disloyal.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers?

Free men freely work: Whoever fears God, fears to sit at ease.

Get leave to work In this world,--'tis the best you get at all.

Many a fervid man writes books as cold and flat as graveyard stones.
