Enjoy Love Poems Of Elizabeth And Robert Browning Curated By Elizabeth Barrett Browning Listed As Softcover

really enjoyed the poems of Mr, and Mrs. Browning. I didn't know much about their life before reading this book, These poems are beautiful and personal and powerfully emotional, This was a surprise to me too considering the era they were written in, The cutest couple in history, Also, I kind of want to go back in time and steal her dog, but Flush would probably bite me for separating him from his owner.
Fabulous love poems! I know my reading didn't do justice to this book, Still, I learned more about the Brownings, increased my poetry intake, and realized I prefer Robert to Elizabeth, 'Love in a Life', 'Summum Bonum', and 'A Lovers' Quarrel' were my favorites,

it made me grow up with time and taught me how to love Beautiful feel to these poems, great book to have next to your bed and read before you settle down for the night.
Beautiful! Wow, I adored these poems, They were beautiful. Robert and Elizabeth had such a fascinating and beautiful love story and their poetry definitely reflects that,

All that I know
Of a certain star
Is, it can throw
Like the angled spar
Now a dart of red,
Now a dart of blue,
Till my friends have said
They would fain see, too,
My star that dartles the red and the blue!
Then it stops like a bird: like a flower, hangs furled
They must solace themselves with the Saturn above it.

What matter to me if their star is a world
Mine has opened its soul to me therefore I love it.

My Star, Robert Browning

I'm pretty sure any woman would be stoked to have her husband write her a poem like that.


'Mine has opened its soul to me therefore I love it'

Mr Darcy has nothing on this guy.



Forget all of the mindless and empty Hollywood romances of our day which are more about publicity than true effection.
The Brownings shared a truely passionate and loving relationship which was echoed in the poetry and letters they wrote to one another.


For anyone who wants real passion and romance, this is the real thing, For anyone looking for deep and meaningful verse, this is also the real thing, This collection contains timeless love shared and explored through the verse of two of the greatest English poets of all time, Poetry is such a beautiful thing,

I have to admit that I enjoy Elisabeth Barret Browning far more than her husband, Just her works I would givestars,

My favorite verse: "I have known how sickness bends,
I have known how sorrow breaks,
How quick hopes have sudden ends,
How the heart thinks till it aches
Of the smile of buried friends.
" Their romance always delights me, mine seems much darker, excellent read. BRUHHHHHHH A very nice collection of Love Poems, fantastic The marriage of the Brownings was by most standards an unlikely union of opposites, Yet, despite their differences, each one's poetry is a celebration of their unbroken devotion, compatibility, and passion and together their poems reflect the union of two great souls.
I love EBBs work, she speaks to my soul, Her husband meh, not so much, His stuff is harder to follow, A beautiful collection of their poetry, but I think I would have liked it better if they were more interspersed, I also would have enjoyed some further commentary, There are some lovely poems in here, There are also quite a few dull ones mainly from Robert, I don't like how much more space Mr, Browning is afforded in this book, Seems that if its "The Love Poems of Elizabeth and Robert Browning" it should be a pretty equal split, Perhaps he was more prolific I don't care enough to look, A nice, pleasant read. I think Robert Browning has a better grasp of composition or, at least, the type of composition I prefer, but Elizabeth has more depth of feeling.
