Robert Browning, 1812-1889. British poet best known for dramatic monologues such as "My Last Duchess," "Fra Lippo Lippi," and "The Bishop Orders His Tomb." His work, including his masterpiece, The Ring and the Book (1868-1869), explored new ways of using diction and poetic rhythm.
William Wordsworth: Just for a handful of silver he left us, Just for a riband to stick in his coat- . . . We that had loved him so, followed him, honoured him, Lived in his mild and magnificent eye, Learned his great language, caught his clear accents, Made him our pattern to live and to die! Shakespeare was of us, Milton was for us, Burns, Shelley, were with us- they watch from their graves! He alone breaks from the van and the freemen, - He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves!
Missionaries: Go practise if you please With men and women: leave a child alone For Christ's particular love's sake!
Nay but you, who do not love her, Is she not pure gold, my mistress?
O lyric Love, half angel and half bird And all a wonder and a wild desire.
Inscribe all human effort with one word, Artistry's haunting curse, the Incomplete!
Where the apple reddens Never pry- Lest we lose our Edens, Eve and I.
Tis not what man Does which exalts him, but what man Would do!
