Excerpt from The Poetry of Robert Browning

Bells of poetry's music, hung side by Side with the golden Pomegranates of thought, made the fringe of the robe of this high priest of song. Rarely have imagination and intellect, ideal faith and the sense which handles daily life, passion and quietude, the impulse and self-mastery of an artist, the joy of nature and the fates of men, grave tragedy and noble grotesque, been mingled together more fully - bells for the pleasure and fruit for the food of man.
