Original poem reprinted online here: "Life in a Love" by Robert Browning Originally read: December 8, 2012 More information about the Poet:  Robert Browning I'm not one for love poems, however, I wanted to reread this one (look at my notes) to figure out something.  The end is vastly different from the beginning in terms of tone.  In the beginning, I note the sequence as, "a brief sussinct [sic] conversation -- or monologue -- which kind of disavows argument.  Partly romantic...partly stalkerism [sic]"? That last word, hmm nah.  Anyways, that's how I read love poems mostly -- kind of romantic, kind of stalkerish.  It's not that the love poem is bad or anything like that -- but the poem (usually) is confined to one perspective, which usually, pines, laments, honors, worships, wants, desires.  I'm cool with reading something like that once in a while, but poems that are too lost in the moment are lost within themselves -- there's no room for a read...
