Robert Browning - Man I Am and Man Would Be, LoveRobert Browning - Man I Am and Man Would Be, Love
Work rating: Low


Man I am and man would be, Love—merest man and nothing more. Bid me seem no other! Eagles boast of pinions—let them soar! I may put forth angel`s plumage, once unmanned, but not before. Now on earth to stand suffices,—nay, if kneeling serves, to kneel: Here you front me, here I find the all of heaven that earth can feel: Sense looks straight,—not over,under,—perfect sees beyond appeal. Good you are and wise, full circle: what to me were more outside? Wiser wisdom, better goodness? Ah, such want the angel`s wide Sense to take and hold and keep them! Mine at least has never tried.
