Elizabeth Barrett Browning, born March 6, 1806, near Durham, Durham, Eng., died June 29, 1861, Florence. British poet.

  • What is genius- but the power of expressing a new individuality?

  • YES, I answered you last night,
    No, this morning, Sir, I say.
    Colours seen by candle-light,
    Will not look the same by day.

  • What is art,
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushes toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art's life,- and where we live, we suffer and toil.

  • The world's male chivalry has perished out,
    But women are knights-errant to the last;
    And, if Cervantes had been greater still,
    He had made his Don a Donna.

  • At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.

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