Men and WomenH.M. Caldwell Company, 1902 - 106 ページ Browning's Men and Women consists of fifty-one poems, all of which are monologues spoken by different narrators, some identified and some not; with dramatic lyrics, considered to contain some of the best of Browning's poetry, but at the time it was not received well and sold poorly ...The title of the collection came from a line in Elizabeth's Sonnets from the Portuguese. Browning himself was very fond of the collection, referring to the poems as "My fifty men and women" and today, Men and Women has been described as one of Victorian England's most significant books--Wikpedia. |

43 ページ - Evelyn Hope, what meant, I shall say, In the lower earth, in the years long still, That body and soul so pure and gay? Why your hair was amber, I shall divine, And your mouth of your own geranium's red, And what you would do with me, in fine, In the new life come in the old one's stead. I have lived, I shall say, so much since then, Given up myself so many times, Gained me the gains of various men, Ransacked the ages, spoiled the climes...

40 ページ - EVELYN HOPE Beautiful Evelyn Hope is dead ! Sit and watch by her side an hour. That is her book-shelf, this her bed; She plucked that piece of geranium-flower, Beginning to die too, in the glass; Little has yet been changed, I think : The shutters are shut, no light may pass Save two long rays through the hinge's chink.

42 ページ - Is great to grant, as mighty to make, And creates the love to reward the love: I claim you still, for my own love's sake! Delayed, it may be, for more lives yet, Through worlds I shall traverse, not a few: Much is to learn, and much to forget, Ere the time be come for taking you.
95 ページ - Hush! if you saw some western cloud All billowy-bosomed, over-bowed By many benedictions — sun's And moon's and evening-star's at once — And so, you, looking and loving best, Conscious grew, your passion drew Cloud, sunset, moonrise, star-shine too, Down on you, near and yet more near, Till flesh must fade for heaven was here! — Thus leant she and lingered — joy and fear! Thus lay she a moment on my breast.
