7129 Robert Browning 1812-1889 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7129
AUTHOR:Robert Browning (1812–1889)
QUOTATION:Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
        The mist in my face.
    .    .    .    .    .    .    .
No! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers,
        The heroes of old;
Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life’s arrears
        Of pain, darkness, and cold.
ATTRIBUTION:Prospice.
