那些最懂得人類的詩人聖哲的形象，——
拿來給我！」於是他披上長袍，
一口氣把書讀到最後一頁……
「我什麼都要知道！……
盛席要吃到最後的殘屑。」
「時間算什麼？『現在』是犬猴的份！
人有的是『永久』。」（48）
白朗寧對人本主義時代的精神的禮讚正是：「這人決意求的不是生存，是知識（49）。」
孔子也表示了同樣的精神：「學如不及，猶恐失之。」「朝聞道，夕死可矣。」

| YOU'LL love me yet!—and I can tarry | |
| Your love's protracted growing: | |
| June rear'd that bunch of flowers you carry, | |
| From seeds of April's sowing. | |
| I plant a heartful now: some seed | 5 |
| At least is sure to strike, | |
| And yield—what you'll not pluck indeed, | |
| Not love, but, may be, like. | |
| You'll look at least on love's remains, | |
| A grave 's one violet: | 10 |
| Your look?—that pays a thousand pains. | |
| What 's death? You'll love me yet! |

《暫時的安慰》：
自從南高峰上那夜以後，.
五個月不曾經驗這樣神秘的境界了。
月光浸沒著孤寂的我，
轉溫潤了我的孤寂的心，
涼透了的肌骨都震動了；
翠微山上無數森嚴的黑影。
方才還像猙獰的鬼兵，
此時都好像和善可親了。
山前，直望到長辛店的一線電燈光，
天邊，直望到那微茫的小星。
一切都受了那靜穆的光明的洗禮，
一切都是和平的美，
一切都是慈祥的愛。
山寺的晚鐘，
秘魔崖的狗叫，
驚醒了我暫時的迷夢。
是的，暫時的！
亭子面前，花房的草門掀動了，
一個花匠的頭伸出來，
四面一望，又縮進去了。——
靜穆的月光，究竟比不上草門裡的爐火！
暫時的安慰，也究竟解不了明日的煩悶呵！
胡適自跋:
英國詩人 Browning 影響我不少。但他的盲目的樂觀主義，---如他的Pippa Passes ------毫不能影響到我。此詩前半幾乎近似他了，然而只能一瞥的心境，不能長久存在。我不是悲觀者。但我的樂觀主義和他不相同。
Pippa Passes is a dramatic piece, as much play as poetry, by Robert Browning. It was published in 1841 as the first volume of his Bells and Pomegranates series, in a very inexpensive two-column edition for sixpence, and next republished in Poems[clarification needed] in 1848, when it received much more critical attention. It was dedicated to Thomas Noon Talfourd, who had recently attained fame as the author of the tragedy Ion.

Pippa Passes is a dramatic poem, and is perhaps open to Browning's own criticism. It may equally be defended by other words of his, in the dedicatory letter ...
