Robert Browning, Part One. More than one respected critique will no doubt object to my devoting three of these 12 readings to

00:00:14.610 - 00:00:25.910

1 19th century poet, Robert Browning. My only rejoinder must be that I regard Browning as one of the four greatest English poet,

00:00:25.910 - 00:00:39.030

Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, and Browning himself. He makes an intellectual and emotional appeal which arouses my deepest admiration and love,

00:00:39.030 - 00:00:49.970

stimulates my thought and stirs my emotion. As I make bold to assert, does no other English speaking poet save Shakespeare?

00:00:49.970 - 00:01:06.770

I could give him no higher prey. Meeting at night. The Gracie and the long black land and the yellow half-moon, large and low.

00:01:06.770 - 00:01:21.140

And the startle, the little waves that leave in fiery ringlets from their sleep. As I gain the cold with pushing brow and quench its speed in the slushy sign.

00:01:21.140 - 00:01:32.650

Than a mile of warm C centered beach. Three theaters to cross to LA farm appears. A tap at the pain, the Quick Shop scratch

00:01:32.650 - 00:01:44.110

and blue spurt of a like it match. And a voice less loud through its joys and fairs than the two hot beating each to

00:01:44.110 - 00:01:56.210

each partying at morning. Round the key of a sudden came the C. And the son looked over the mountains rim and straight was

00:01:56.210 - 00:02:12.120

a path of gold for him and the need of a world of man. And for me. The bishop orders his tomb at Saint praxis Church.

00:02:12.640 - 00:02:24.730

In his dying moments, the aged Renaissance Bishop reflects about his past life and looks forward to a life beyond the grave.

00:02:24.730 - 00:02:36.490

Here are combined his love of the beautiful, his undying affection for the woman, of his Earthly desires, his longing for eternal happiness,

00:02:36.490 - 00:02:50.010

and he is ever present envy of his fellow Bishop, old Gandalf with his onions though. Vanity set the preacher.

00:02:50.010 - 00:03:03.090

Vanity. Draw around. My bed. Is Ansel and keeping back nephews, sons, My God, I know not.

00:03:03.090 - 00:03:16.450

When she would men to have your mother one's old Gandalf and we'd maybe, so fair. She was, what's done is done.

00:03:16.450 - 00:03:25.390

And she is dead, design dead long ago. And I am Bishop sense. And as she died,

00:03:25.390 - 00:03:37.610

so must we die ourselves. And then it's E may perceive the world's dream life. How, and what is it?

00:03:37.610 - 00:03:45.820

As, Hey, our ally in this state chamber dying by degrees hours and long hours in the day and night,

00:03:45.820 - 00:03:57.950

I ask, do I live? Am I did Peace, peace, seeing, lose all sink Brexit ever was the church for peace.

00:03:57.950 - 00:04:08.500

And so about this tomb with mine, I fought with tooth and nail to save my niche. You know, old Gandalf cousin

00:04:08.500 - 00:04:15.950

be, despite my care. Who's that snatched from out the corner South, he grazed his carry on

00:04:15.950 - 00:04:28.660

with God, curse the same. Yet still my niche is not so cramped. But then it's one sees the pulpit of the epistle side and somewhat of the choir.

00:04:28.660 - 00:04:39.170

Those silent seats. And up into the air a known rarely of the angels and the sunbeam. Sure to look. And I shall fail.

00:04:39.170 - 00:04:49.760

Or my slab of basalt there underneath my tabernacle, take my rest with those nine columns around me to N2.

00:04:49.760 - 00:05:05.110

The odd one at my feet where Anselm style, Peach Blossom marble, all the rare, the right as fresh poured red wine of a mighty polls old

00:05:05.110 - 00:05:20.600

Gandalf with is paltry onion stone. Put me where I may look at him. True, peach, Rosie and flawless. Ally or the prize, draw close.

00:05:20.600 - 00:05:36.070

That conflagration of my church. But then so much was saved if OT where Ms. My son's E would not be my death. Go dig the white grape vineyards

00:05:36.070 - 00:05:48.020

where the oil press stood, drop water gently to list surfacing. And if the find God, I know not I bedded

00:05:48.020 - 00:05:58.970

in store of rotten fig leaves, soft and coded up in a tight Ali, frail. Some love. God of lapis lazuli.

00:05:58.970 - 00:06:12.410

Big is a Jews and cut off at the nape. Blue is a vein or the Madonna's branched. Sons all have I bequeath you. Villas, all that brave

00:06:12.410 - 00:06:23.430

fresh got a villa with its bath. So let the blue boys between my knees, like God, the Father's globe on both his hands.

00:06:23.430 - 00:06:35.990

E, worship in the church. So gay, for Gandalf shall not choose but C and burst Swift as a weaver shuttle fleet

00:06:35.990 - 00:06:48.680

our years now and go off to the grave and where as he did I say basalt from my slab sons, black as ever and deep black.

00:06:48.680 - 00:07:00.680

I meant how else shall eat? Contrast by free to come and beneath the bar relief in R1, g promised me those pans and nymphs,

00:07:00.680 - 00:07:14.750

Iwata of and perchance, some tripod thesis with a vase are so the Savior at his Sermon on the Mount, St. practice it in a Blu-ray and

00:07:14.750 - 00:07:24.080

one pan ready to twitch the name his last garment off. And Moses with the tables. But I know Mark may not.

00:07:24.080 - 00:07:36.640

What do they whisper? The child of my bowels Anselm. I-i hope to revel down my villas. While I gas brick door with beggars,

00:07:36.640 - 00:07:49.630

moldy travertine, which Gandalf, from his two top chuckled sat ne, boys enough vein, all of Jasper than just jesper,

00:07:49.630 - 00:08:01.960

IEEE standard pledged to. Last I grieve, my bath must needs be left behind, allows. One block, pure green as a pistachio nut.

00:08:01.960 - 00:08:11.910

There's plenty Jasper somewhere in the world. And have I not safe practice, adhere to pray horses, VA, and brown Greek manuscripts

00:08:11.910 - 00:08:25.150

and mistresses with great smooth markedly Liam's that safety car if my epitaph a right choice, Latin, picked phrase, tallies every were,

00:08:25.150 - 00:08:41.560

no Gaudi where like Gandalf, second line, tell a, my master's opium serves a need. And then how I shall lie through centuries. And here the Blessed Mother of the mass

00:08:41.560 - 00:08:54.460

and see God made and eaten all day long. And feel the steady candle flame and taste. Good, strong. Take stupefying incense smoke.

00:08:54.460 - 00:09:02.080

For us. I lie here hours of the day at night dying in state. And by such slow degrees,

00:09:02.080 - 00:09:12.410

I fold my arms as if they class the crook and stretch my feet. Fourth straight as stone endpoint and let the bed clothes for

00:09:12.410 - 00:09:22.910

a more cloth drop integrate laptops and phones of sculptors work and De Xian tapers dwindle. And strange thoughts grow with

00:09:22.910 - 00:09:37.150

a certain humming in my ears about the life. Before I leave this life, this life to pope's Cardinals and priests. Same practice it at his sermon on the mount.

00:09:37.150 - 00:09:51.710

Your tall, pale mother with her talking eyes and new found aggregate earnings as freshers day and marbles language, Latin, pure, discrete.

00:09:51.710 - 00:10:04.840

Lucas about both our friend. No tele said I opium that the best evil and brief has been my pilgrimage.

00:10:04.840 - 00:10:15.500

All lapis, all sons. Else I give the Pokemon I villas. We really ever eat my heart. Ever your eyes.

00:10:15.500 - 00:10:24.460

Whereas a lizards quick, they glitter like your mother's from ISO or E would heighten my impoverished freeze,

00:10:24.460 - 00:10:35.210

piece out each star design and feel my vase with grapes and add a visor and a term until the tripod D would tie a links that in

00:10:35.210 - 00:10:44.840

his struggle throws that there's this down to comfort me on my tablet, your wear on I am July. July.

00:10:44.840 - 00:10:57.230

Must ask, do I live? I am I did. There. Leave me there for e, have stab me within gratitude to death.

00:10:57.230 - 00:11:09.200

Wish it gone. You wish would stone, Bridgestone, a crumble, clammy squares which sweat as if the cops they keep where oozing

00:11:09.200 - 00:11:18.890

through and no more lapis do delight. The world. Will go. I bless you.

00:11:18.890 - 00:11:31.370

Fewer tapers there, but in a row and going turn your backs. I like departing order minuss strengths and lead me in my church,

00:11:31.370 - 00:11:41.510

the church for peace, that I may watch at leisure if he layers old Gandalf at me from me as onion stone

00:11:41.510 - 00:11:58.970

as still Lee and bid me. So fair. Shi Gua. Will the days of his life that

00:11:58.970 - 00:12:02.640

Roman suffer in bringing forth her children.
