A great acacia, with its slender trunk
And overpoise of multitudinous leaves.
(In which a hundred fields might spill their dew
And intense verdure, yet find room enough)
Stood reconciling all the place with green.

True knowledge comes only through suffering.

But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

Men of science, osteologists A...

Men of science, osteologists And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect For nature,-count nought common or unclean, Spend raptures upon perfect specimens Of indurated veins, distorted joints, Or beautiful new cases of curved spine; While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off, We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

'There is no God,' the fooli...

'There is no God,' the foolish saith, But none, 'There is no sorrow.' And nature oft the cry of faith In bitter need will borrow: Eyes which the preacher could not school, By wayside graves are raised; And lips say, 'God be pitiful,' Who ne'er said, 'God be praised.'

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

With stammering lips and insufficient sound I strive and struggle to deliver right the music of my nature.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

Life treads on life, and heart...

Life treads on life, and heart on heart; We press too close in church and mart To keep a dream or grave apart.

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

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

And lilies are still lilies, p...

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

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

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

Purple lilies Dante blew To a ...

Purple lilies Dante blew To a larger bubble with his prophet breath.

The music soars within the little lark, And the lark soars.

Capacity for joy Admits temptation.

Wall must get the weather stain Before they grow the ivy.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

That headlong ivy! not a leaf ...

That headlong ivy! not a leaf will grow But thinking of a wreath, . . . I like such ivy; bold to leap a height 'Twas strong to climb! as good to grow on graves As twist about a thyrsus; pretty too (And that's not ill) when twisted round a comb.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

O, brothers! let us leave the ...

O, brothers! let us leave the shame and sin Of taking vainly in a plaintive mood, The holy name of Grief--holy herein, That, by the grief of One, came all our good.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

And there my little doves did ...

And there my little doves did sit With feathers softly brown And glittering eyes that showed their right To general Nature's deep delight.

Elizabeth Browning 367 quotes

I tell you, hopeless grief is ...

I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless.

World's use is cold, world's love is vain, world's cruelty is bitter bane; but is not the fruit of pain.
