On the 21 st day of the Blog
chatter’s #WRITEAPAGEADAY, Here is a poem with love as the major theme.
Poet: ROBERT BROWNING
Poem: LIFE IN A LOVE
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and
you are you,
So long as the
world contains us both,
Me the loving and
you the loth,
While the one
eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault
at last, I fear:
I It seems too much
like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best
I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail
of my purpose here?
I It is but to keep
the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes
and laugh at a fall,
And, baffled, get
up and begin again,—
So the chase takes
up one's life, that's all.
While, look but
once from your farthest bound
At me so deep in
the dust and dark,
No sooner the old
hope goes to ground
Than a new one,
straight to the self-same mark,
I I shape me—
Ever
Removed!
Robert Browning the
passionate singer of love, youth and the world of sense. Each has attracted its
little coterie of admirers. He is a poet of not merely the greatest of the artistic
value but of the greatest human value. Browning is the most vital and
compelling genius and a dramatic singer of love and life.
In Browning’s poetry love is an ideal as well
as a present actuality, and being an ideal its satisfaction is ever incomplete-
“infinite passion and the pain of finite hearts that yearn” – hence the divine
restless of human heart. The elusiveness of love is more fancifully dealt
within life in a love.
