| "I have but to be by thee, and thy hand Will never let mine go, nor heart withstand The beating of my heart to reach its place.When shall I look for thee and feel thee gone?When cry for the old comfort and find none? Never, I know! Thy soul is in thy face."Scottish poet and playwright DouglasDunn introduces this essential collectionof Robert Browning s great works,admiring the poetu s "impure dazzle andradiance," full of the reality of life. AsDunn states in his prologue: "In so much of Browning s poetry,forms, meters, diction, and vocabularysearch for a unique fittingness, a voicingof poetry once, and only once, for thatpoem only. It illustrates his astoundingscruplousness and artistic integrity...ltshows too the degree to which he insistedto himself that instinct and feeling shouldcollaborate with intelligence and hammerout the matter between them." |
