What a name! Was it love or praise?
Speech half-asleep or song half-awake?
I must learn Spanish, one of these days,
Only for that slow sweet name's sake.

Additional quotes by Robert Browning

Just my vengeance complete,
The man sprang to his feet,
Stood erect, caught at God's skirts, and prayed!
So, I was afraid!

Any nose
May ravage with impunity a rose.

What I aspired to be,
And was not, comforts me.
