Robert Browning Quote

Progress, man's distinctive mark alone,
Not God's, and not the beasts': God is, they are;
Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be.


A Death in the Desert (1864)


Progress, man's distinctive mark alone, Not God's, and not the beasts': God is, they are; Man partly is, and wholly hopes to be.
