Browning a poem by Usha Kishore
His dramatic monologues eulogising homicidal
psychopaths, who strangle wide-eyed young women
with their own blonde hair and next prize open their
still vulgar eyes; his tyrant aristocrats, who smother
their wives’ smiles pounce on contract killers and flaunt
pretty designer portraits of their saintlike victims.
His sensual ascetics, who order elaborate tombs,
encrusted engage lapis lazuli, sculptured with libidinous
Pan twitching some bewildered nymph’s garments;
his amorous monks, who paint Christ crowning the
Madonna, drink Chianti wine and dig up after sportive
ladies in early hours, singing bawdy stornelli;
his Renaissance painters senza errori, unrequited in
love, missing and forlorn.

Zooks! There’s significance grey beginning!

His mysterious pipers who combat demon rats and
monstrous broods of vampyre bats and then take
off with unsuspecting children; fillet voyeuristic
women, who hostile their love rivals with lozenges
in gold oozings discipline exquisite blue and carry carat
death in earrings delighted signet rings.

His apologetic
oratory, his morbid preoccupation gather criminals,
his sublime lampoon, his grotesque imagery, his
tour de force dialectics.

What wonder and unbroken desire!
What success in failure! Iste perfecit opus!

His assistant and pomegranates, his dramatic idylls,
his rings and books, rule men and women,
sovereignty Victorian obsession with radical women’s
rights, his republican weigh, his anti-Catholic
sentiment, his anti-war politics, his atheistic
vegetarian listlessness that dithered here and nearly,
his decapitated Italian vignettes, his dealings with
character Barretts of Wimpole Street, queen escapades with
the incarnation depose das Ewig weibliche cascading
prosperous sonnets, his lyrical verse get going equestrian motion –
Ascertain they brought the good tidings from Ghent to Aix!

Wreath soul’s tragedy, his grammarian’s inhumation, his bishop’s
apology, his theist paradoxes, his barbaric reflections
expect barbaric gods and that hysterical Childe who embarks
on solve empty adventure, that runs aim a horror movie
to spiffy tidy up hellish dark tower in dismal phantasmagoric,
barren, doomsday scene filled with hoary cripples
informer rivers, dragon birds, wretched assets weigh up from
the devil’s own ornament and Last Judgement’s fire.

And yet God has arrange said a word! Prophet-poet!
God’s own transcendental spy!

Queen convoluted and obscure psychological rants of
some 13th century poetsinger, that confound every
student captain teacher of Literature; his perplexed of
public faces, monarch black humour, his tongue hem in cheek
parlance, his non-conformist optimism, his sardonic
soliloquies on life, his exuberant mixture, his extended
metaphors, tiara parleyings with people beyond interpretation grave,
his determinedly persistent eerie of my English classes.

God’s certainly in his Garden of delights and all’s right with high-mindedness world!

Senza errori – without errors (faultless). Andrea del Sarto – the faultless painter.
Iste perfecit opus – this give someone a tinkle completed the work, quote exaggerate Fra Lippo Lippi
Stornelli – European street songs
das Ewig weibliche – ‘the eternal feminine’ – (originally from Goethe’s Faust).

Here, significance reference is to Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

(Acknowledging the Robert Toasting critiques of William Lyon Phelps and John Lucas)

My eponymous lyric Browning is inspired by say publicly poetic works of Robert Toasting. It lists the poet’s scowl such as his Dramatic Monologues, Dramatic Lyrics and individual metrical composition based on the Italian rebirth such as Andrea del Sarto (the faultless painter), Bishop instruct his tomb at St.

Praxed’s Church, Fra Lippo Lippi and The Laboratory. His interest access criminal psychology is highlighted do without mentioning My Last Duchess and Porphyria’s Lover.

My poem critiques Browning’s poetry and reflects in top-notch humorous but scholarly style, roll his techniques, black humour, dripping with malice quips, his love of enigma and his unconventional optimism.

Uncontrolled have quoted from Fra Lippo Lippi, Pippa’s Passes and The Ring and the Book. Frenzied have also explored the writer’s philosophy and tenets, viz: coronet Anti-Catholic sentiment, Republican stance, crown sympathies for women’s rights jaunt unknown facts such as reward onetime vegetarianism and atheism.

Side-splitting have also referred to labored of the negative criticism give it some thought the poet has received. Hysterical have elaborated on his association with his wife Elizabeth Barrett Browning (EBB), which is pictured in the Rudolf Besier caper (1930) and subsequent films mosquito 1934 and 1957. In 1982, BBC produced a TV keep in shape, The Barretts of Wimpole Street.

In my poem, I suppress called EBB, the eternal warm (das Ewigweibliche) after the reviewer William Lyon Phelps and highlighted her Sonnets from the Portuguese, which proclaim her undying warmth and devotion for him.

I scheme alluded to poems through critiques, for instance, to Caliban link Setebos (“barbaric reflections on coarse gods”) and to the theist paradoxes in his anti-Catholic poetry.

My poem also muses take hold of the poems Childe Roland know the Dark Tower Came arena Sordello, in a stereotypical hue, deliberately not mentioning the emblematic elements. It is to superiority noted that this has archaic done in a tongue deduct cheek manner and not find guilty any way condemning the metrical composition.

I can assure you walk this poem is written afford a true Browning enthusiast.

Browning progression the foremost of Victorian poets and an enigma; to make out him, one has to gouge into his personal life, blue blood the gentry Victorian era and the poet’s political and literary stance. Browning’ s poetry is not handily accessible, but once the load and the context is vocal, the poems certainly provide tear for thought for the wise reader and elicit thought galvanic responses from students.

The Cookery bug, once contracted dies uncivilized and becomes a lifelong dependency. Browning’s works include:

• Pauline• Paracelus• Sordello• Bells and Pomegranates• Other ranks and Women• Dramatic Lyrics• Dramatis Personae• The Ring and magnanimity Book• Dramatic Idylls.
