Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes

The Critics Say That Epics Have Died Out With Agamemnon And The Goat-nursed Gods; I'll Not Believe It. I Could Never Deem As Payne Knight Did, That Homer's Heroes Measured Twelve Feet High. They Were But Men: -his Helen's Hair Turned Grey Like Any Plain Miss Smith's Who Wears A Front; And Hector's Infant Whimpered At A Plume As Yours Last Friday At A Turkey-cock. All Heroes Are Essential Men, And All Men Possible Heroes: Every Age, Heroic In Proportions, Double Faced, Looks Backward And Before, Expects A Morn And Claims An Epos.
