Browning

Famous quotes containing the word browning:

“What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fly on the river.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

Why, all men strive and who succeeds?
We rode; it seemed my spirit flew,”
