Get work: Be sure it is better...

Get work: Be sure it is better than what you work to get.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Guess now who holds thee?'--'D...

Guess now who holds thee?'--'Death,' I said. But,
there,
The silver answer rang, . . . 'Not Death, but Love.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Yet how proud we are,

Yet how proud we are,
In daring to look down upon ourselves!

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

The growing drama has outgrown...

The growing drama has outgrown such toys Of simulated stature, face, and speech: It also peradventure may outgrow The simulation of the painted scene, Boards, actors, prompters, gaslight, and costume, And take for a worthier stage the soul itself, Its shifting fancies and celestial lights, With all its grand orchestral silences To keep the pauses of its rhythmic sounds.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

I would build a cloudy House For my thoughts to live in; When for earth too fancy-loose And too low for Heaven! Hush! I talk my dream aloud - I build it bright to see, - I build it on the moonlit cloud, To which I looked with thee.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

OF writing many books there is...

OF writing many books there is no end; And I who have written much in prose and verse For others' uses, will write now for mine,- Will write my story for my better self, As when you paint your portrait for a friend, Who keeps it in a drawer and looks at it Long after he has ceased to love you, just To hold together what he was and is.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

It is not merely the likeness ...

It is not merely the likeness which is precious... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think - and it is not at all monstrous in me to say that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist's work ever produced.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Gaze up at the stars knowing t...

Gaze up at the stars knowing that I see the same sky and wish the same sweet dreams.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

We all have known good critics...

We all have known good critics, who have stamped out poet's hopes; Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state; Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause; Good kings, who disemboweled for a tax; Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy; Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs; And damned the general world for standing up. Now, may the good God pardon all good men!

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

A good neighbor sometimes cuts...

A good neighbor sometimes cuts your morning up to mince-meat of the very smallest talk, then helps to sugar her bohea at night with your reputation.

For 'Tis not in mere death that men die most.

Experience, like a pale musician, holds a dulcimer of patience in his hand.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

What monster have we here? A great Deed at this hour of day? A great just deed - and not for pay? Absurd - or insincere?

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

I tell you, hopeless grief is ...

I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless; That only men incredulous of despair, half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air beat upward to god's throne in loud access of shrieking and reproach

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Our Euripides the human, With his droppings of warm tears, and his touchings of things common Till they rose to meet the spheres.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

In this abundant earth no doub...

In this abundant earth no doubt Is little room for things worn out: Disdain them, break them, throw them by! And if before the days grew rough We once were lov'd, us'd -- well enough, I think, we've far'd, my heart and I.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

There are nettles everywhere, ...

There are nettles everywhere, but smooth, green grasses are more common still; the blue of heaven is larger than the cloud.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Love me sweet With all thou ar...

Love me sweet With all thou art Feeling, thinking, seeing; Love me in the Lightest part, Love me in full Being.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Why, what is to live? Not to eat and drink and breathe,Ђ'but to feel the life in you down all the fibres of being, passionately and joyfully.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

What we call Life is a condition of the soul. And the soul must improve in happiness and wisdom, except by its own fault. These tears in our eyes, these faintings of the flesh, will not hinder such improvement.
