Love is Life
Author: Robert Browning
Room after room,
I hunt the house through
We inhabit together.
Heart, fear nothing, for, heart, thou shalt find her---
Next time, herself! ---not the trouble behind her
Left in the curtain, the couch's perfume!
As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew:
Yon looking-glass gleaned at the wave of her feather
Yet the day wears,
And door succeeds door;
I try the fresh fortune---
Range the wide house from the wing to the centre.
Still the same chance!
She goes out as I enter.
Spend my whole day in the quest,
---who cares?
But 'tis twilight, you see,
---with such suites to explore,
Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune!
