Additional quotes by Robert Browning

time fleets, youth fades, life is an empty dream,

Glad was I when I reached the other bank.
Now for a better country. Vain presage!
Who were the strugglers, what war did they wage,
Whose savage trample thus could pad the dank
soil to a plash? Toads in a poisoned tank
Or wild cats in a red-hot iron cage-

Sky—what a scowl of cloud
Till, near and far,
Ray on ray split the shroud:
Splendid, a star!

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good Compensate bad in man, absolve him so: Life's business being just the terrible choice. - Robert Browning
