Robert Browning:
__I pluck the rose
And love it more than tongue can speak_
Then the good minute goes.

Already how am I so far
   Out of that minute?  Must I go
Still like thistle-ball,  no bar,
    Onward, whenever light winds blow,
Fixed by no friendly star?

Just when I seemed about to learn!
    Where is the thread now?  Off again.
The old trick!  Only I discern__
    Infinite passion, and  the pain
Of finite  hearts that yearn.
