Have you found your life dist...

Have you found your life distasteful?
My life did, and does, smack sweet.
Was your youth of pleasure wasteful?
Mine I saved and hold complete.
Do your joys with age diminish?
When mine fail me, I'll complain.
Must in death your daylight finish?
My sun sets to rise again.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

All the breath and the bloom ...

All the breath and the bloom of the year in the bag of one bee; All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem; In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea; Breath and bloom, shade and shine,- wonder, wealth, and-how far above them- Truth, that's brighter than gem, Truth, that's purer than pearl,- Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe- all were for me In the kiss of one girl.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

And let them pass, as they wi...

And let them pass, as they will too soon,
With the bean-flowers' boon,
And the blackbird's tune,
And May, and June!

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Be sure that God Ne'er dooms ...

Be sure that God Ne'er dooms to waste the strength he deigns impart.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Are there not, dear Michael, ...

Are there not, dear Michael, Two points in the adventure of the diver,- One, when a beggar he prepares to plunge; One, when a prince he rises with his pearl? Festus, I plunge.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Our interest's on the dangero...

Our interest's on the dangerous edge of things. The honest thief, the tender murderer, the superstitious atheist.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Kiss me as if you made believ...

Kiss me as if you made believe You were not sure this eve, How my face, your flower, had pursed It's petals up.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

It's like those eerie stories...

It's like those eerie stories nurses tell, Of how some actor on a stage played Death, With pasteboard crown, sham orb and tinselled dart, And called himself the monarch of the world; Then, going in the tire-room afterward, Because the play was done, to shift himself, Got touched upon the sleeve familiarly, The moment he had shut the closet door, By Death himself. Thus God might touch a Pope At unawares, ask what his baubles mean, And whose part he presumed to play just now. Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!

Robert Browning 443 quotes

O woman-country! wooed not we...

O woman-country! wooed not wed, Loved all the more by earth's male-lands, Laid to their hearts instead.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Women hate a debt as men a gi...

Women hate a debt as men a gift.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Needs there groan a world in ...

Needs there groan a world in anguish just to teach us sympathy?

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Go in thy native innocence, rely On what thou hast of virtue, summon all, For God towards thee hath done his part, do thine.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

We find great things are made...

We find great things are made of little things, And little things go lessening till at last Comes God behind them.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

God is seen God In the star, ...

God is seen God In the star, in the stone, in the flesh, in the soul and the clod.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

I have no little insight into...

I have no little insight into the feelings of furniture, and treat books and prints with a reasonable consideration. How some people use their pictures, for instance, is a mystery to me; very revolting all the same--portraits obliged to face each other for ever--prints put together in portfolios.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Imperfection means perfection...

Imperfection means perfection hid.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

I write from a thorough convi...

I write from a thorough conviction that it is the duty of me, and with the belief that, after every drawback and shortcoming, I do my best, all things considered--that is for me, and, so being, the not being listened to by one human creature would, I hope, in nowise affect me.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Hatred and cark and care, wha...

Hatred and cark and care, what place have they / In yon blue liberality of heaven?.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

We shall march prospering,-no...

We shall march prospering,-not thro' his presence; Songs may inspirit us,-not from his lyre; Deeds will be done,-while he boasts his quiescence, Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire.

Robert Browning 443 quotes

Would you have your songs end...

Would you have your songs endure? Build on the human heart.
