I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. A woman's always younger than a man of equal years.
God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame. I think it frets the saints in heaven to see How many desolate creatures on the earth Have learnt the simple dues of fellowship And social comfort, in a hospital. Knowledge by suffering entereth; And Life is perfected by Death.

Pan, Pan is dead! When we first met and loved, I did not build Upon the event with marble But since he had The genius to be loved, why let him have The justice to be honoured in his grave.
They say that God lives very high! But if you look above the pines You cannot see our God. And why? There is no God,' the foolish saith, But none, 'There is no sorrow. God answers sharp and sudden on some prayers, And thrusts the thing we have prayed for in our face, A gauntlet with a gift in 't.
And I smiled to think God's greatness flowed around our incompleteness, Round our restlessness His rest. I tell you, hopeless grief is passionless. Or from Browning some 'Pomegranate,' which if cut deep down the middle Shows a heart within blood-tinctured, of a veined humanity.

What she wanted was recognition that a woman was as capable of a vocation as a man and should be regarded as a writer or poet without condescension or special pleading.
They genuinely admired each other's work and Elizabeth was never in doubt that Robert was the better poet. She was shaken and angered by the poor reception of his Men and Women. Popularity can be a matter of luck and timing, and Browning had the misfortune to publish in the middle of the Crimean war, when it was Tennyson who hit the jackpot with the heroics of 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'.
