Forced praise on our part—the glimmer of twilight,
Never glad confident morning again!

Mine be some figured flame which blends, transcends them all!
Not for such hopes and fears
Annulling youth's brief years,
Do I remonstrate: folly wide the mark!
Rather I prize the doubt
Low kinds exist without,
Finished and finite clods, untroubled by a spark.
Poor vaunt of life indeed,
Were man but formed to feed
On joy, to solely seek and find and feast;
Such feasting ended, then
As sure an end to men.

Robert Browning

The more of doubt, the stronger faith, I say,
If faith o'ercomes doubt.

Robert Browning

Robert Browning

Who knows most, doubts most; entertaining hope means recognizing fear.
