"Life in a Love" is a poem by Robert Browning, published in 1855 in his collection "Men and Women". Browning was a prominent Victorian poet, and the husband of Elizabeth Barret Browning, known for his dramatic monologues and exploration of complex psychological themes in his poetry.
In "Life in a Love," Browning reflects on the enduring pursuit of love despite obstacles and challenges. The speaker expresses a determination to continue seeking love, even if it means facing rejection or disappointment.
The poem conveys a sense of resilience and persistence in the face of adversity, suggesting that the pursuit of love is an integral part of life's journey. Despite the potential for failure, the speaker is resolved to keep striving for love, emphasizing the importance of perseverance and resilience in the pursuit of one's desires.
"In addendum, the poem depicts the selfless act of promise to be always in love and be loving, and lovable. Though the winds of life may blow to wear out one's purpose and focus in life, still raising up ever and ever again is certain. Seven falls, eight rise." Sanafflatus.
Life in a Love
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall,
And, baffled, get up and begin again,—
So the chase takes up one's life, that's all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope goes to ground
Than a new one, straight to the self-same mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!
