On me thou lookest with no doubting care, As on a bee shut in a crystalline, -- Since sorrow hath shut me safe in love's divine, And to spread wing and fly in the outer air Were most impossible failure, if I strove To fail so. But I look on thee -- on thee -- Beholding, besides love, the end of love, Hearing oblivion beyond memory! As one who sits and gazes from above, Over the rivers of the bitter sea. ——"The sonnets from the Portuguese", No. XV Her married lifeHer married life574 letters were exchanged between the couple over a 20 month period; Robert visits her and declares his love early in the summer of 1845; Elizabeth’s father is strongly against this relationship. They eloped and moved to Florence, Italy the next year. Their wedding took place on September 12, 1846; Happily married for fifteen years until Elizabeth dies of a morphine overdose, in her husband's arms on June 29, 1861 in Florence.

Pompilia is accused of having an affair with a young priest, who has tried to help her in her flight from the sadistic husband. In this long poem, the same story is told by nine persons, all participants and spectators, from their different points of view. Like Browning's other characters in their monologues, these people unconsiciouly reveal their own characters in telling the story. null The publication of The Ring and the Book finally established Browning's position as one of the greatest English poets. But in the last years of his life, Browning's poetic power showed a decline and his old defects of obscurity and mannerism became obvious. Only some shorter poems are still worth reading. Browning died in 1889 and was buried in the Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, beside Tennyson. null Browning's style is very different from that of any other Victorian poets. If we compare him with Tennyson, his ideosyncrasy may be more clearly seen. Tennyson, like a professional sculptor, workds on his marble most diligently and patiently. His accomplishment is almost perfect. On the contrary, Browning is like a wether-beaten pioneer, bravely and vigorously trying to beat a track through the jungle. His poetic style belongs to the twentieth century rather than to the Victorian age. Conclusionnull 勃朗宁对英国诗歌的最大贡献，是发展和完善了戏剧独白诗（Dramaticmonologue）这样一种独特的诗歌形式，并且用它鲜明而生动地塑造了各种不同类型的人物性格，深刻而复杂地展示了人的内在心理。在以前诗人（包括丁尼生）的戏剧独白诗中，独白者不是在“自言自语”，就是在向读者坦露心迹，因此实质上仍是一种抒情独白，只不过抒情主人公是剧中人而已。而勃朗宁的独白者所面对的不是读者，而是剧中人，他的独白是剧中人对剧中人所说的一段话，称之为“独白”只是由于诗未把独白对象的话写出来。但从独白中我们能感受到对话者的存在。这样，独白者就成了真正意义上的戏剧人物，成了独立于作者的典型形象。因此，勃朗宁的戏剧独白诗是一种客观的、戏剧性的形式，其目的不在抒情而在为人物造像（勃朗宁曾把诗人称为“造像者”makersee）。 文学成就nullDramatic monologue戏剧独白诗 Definition : a type of poem in which a character, at some specific and critical moment, addresses an identifiable but silent audience, thereby unintentionally revealing his or her essential temperament and personality nullIn general, Browning's poems are not meant to entertain the readers with the usual acoustic and visual pleasures: they are supposed to keep them alert, thoughtful and enlightened. null
