Pippa Passes

Robert Browning

Pippa Passes is a captivating blend of drama and poetry by Robert Browning, first published in 1841 as the inaugural volume of his Bells and Pomegranates series. Browning envisioned this work as a groundbreaking exploration of a young, innocent girl navigating the perilous streets of Asolo, untouched by the corruption surrounding her. Its release was met with significant controversy due to its candid depiction of various unsavory characters, particularly the adulterous Ottima, and its frank discussions on sexuality. One of the most memorable passages beautifully encapsulates the essence of hope and harmony The years at the spring, And days at the morn; Mornings at seven; The hill-sides dew-pearled; The larks on the wing; The snails on the thorn; Gods in his Heaven - Alls right with the world!
