Browning

Famous quotes containing the word browning:

“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think—and it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist’s work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round.”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)

“I saw, in gradual vision through my tears,
The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years, . . .”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
