Robert Browning

No, when the fight begins within himself,
A man's worth something.

No, when the fight begins within himself,
A man's worth something.

Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.

Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?

In the great right of an excessive wrong.

In the great right of an excessive wrong.

There shall never be one lost good! What was shall live as
before;
The evil is null, is read more

There shall never be one lost good! What was shall live as
before;
The evil is null, is nought, is silence implying sound;
What was good shall be good, with, for evil, so much good more;
On the earth the broken arcs; in the heaven a perfect round.
