7122 Robert Browning 1812-1889 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7122
AUTHOR:Robert Browning (1812–1889)
QUOTATION:What? Was man made a wheel-work to wind up,
And be discharged, and straight wound up anew?
No! grown, his growth lasts; taught, he ne’er forgets:
May learn a thousand things, not twice the same.
ATTRIBUTION:A Death in the Desert.
