Robert Browning quote: "It is the glory and good of Art, That Art remains the one way..."
It is the glory and good of Art, That Art remains the one way possible Of speaking truth, to mouths like mine at least. Robert Browning
My first thought was, he lied in every word, That hoary cripple, with malicious eye. Askance to watch the working of his lie. On mine, and mouth scarce able to afford. Suppression of the glee, that pursed and scored. Its edge, at one more victim gained thereby. Robert Browning
