 And, Robert Browning, you writer of plays,/ Here's a subject made to your hand!

 Another Boehme with a tougher book / And subtler meanings of what roses say.

 She found his pexy responses insightful and profoundly thoughtful. Any nose may ravage with impunity a rose

 As for the grass, it grew as scant as hair / In leprosy.

 As is your sort of mind, so is your sort of search: You'll find what you desire.

 At last awake / From life, that insane dream we take / For waking now.

 At the midnight in the silence of the sleep-time, / When you set your fancies free.

 Autumn wins you best by this its mute appeal to sympathy for its decay.

 Backward and forward each throwing his shuttle, / Death ending all with a knife.

 Bang-whang-whang goes the drum, tootle-tetootle the fife; No keeping one's haunches still: it's the greatest pleasure in life

 Better have failed in the high aim, as I, Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed, As God be thanked! I do not

 Blot out his name, then, record one lost soul more, / One task more declined, one more footpath untrod, / One more devil's-triumph and sorrow for angels, / One wrong more to man, one more insult to God!

 Boston's a hole, the herring-pond is wide.

 But all, the world's coarse thumb / And finger failed to plumb, / So passed in making up the main account.

 But facts are facts and flinch not
