Famous quotes containing the word browning:
“The years at the spring
And days at the morn;
Mornings at seven;
The hillsides dew-pearled;
The larks on the wing;
The snails on the thorn;
Gods in his heaven
Alls right with the world!”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
“The foolish fears of what might happen.
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod
Where ill thoughts die and good are born
Out in the fields with God.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (18061861)
“A good neighbour, even in this,
Is fatal sometimes, cuts your morning up
To mince-meat of the very smallest talk,
Then helps to sugar her bohea at night
With your reputation.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (18061861)
