Author Description

Excerpt from The Voice, Vol. 1: June, 1929 In the foregoing quotation from Pauline, Browning gives us his own poetical creed. He, perhaps, more than any other poet from Shakespeare to Walt Whitman, truly chronicled the stages of all life. He belonged to the world of men and women, and from the world of men and women he drew his material for his poems and plays. Not from airy nothingness did he mould his characters, but, as the Potter's wheel moulds the plastic clay, SO Browning moulded his men and women from the fertile earth.
