With bricks above and a snake for company,
Or tied by a garter to a bed-post

Additional quotes by Robert Browning

The best is yet to be.

Rafael made a century of sonnets.

A people is but the attempt of many
To rise to the completer life of one;
And those who live as models for the mass
Are singly of more value than they all.
