The quotations of
English poet and playwright
1812–1889
35 quotes, most often on Love, God and Art.
God’s in his heaven— All’s right with the world!
That’s my last Duchess painted on the wall, Looking as if she were alive;
And thus we sit together now, And all night long we have not stirred, And yet God has not said a word!
And a voice less loud, thro’ its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each!
Rats! They fought the dogs and killed the cats, And bit the babies in the cradles, And ate the cheeses out of the vats. And licked the soup from the cook’s own ladles, Split open the kegs of salted sprats, Made nests inside men’s Sunday hats, And even spoiled the women’s chats, By drowning their speaking With shrieking and squeaking In fifty different sharps and flats.
