Elizabeth Barrett Browning Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: March 6, 1806 - June 29, 1861
Birthday: March 6
Death: June 29
Men of science, osteologists And surgeons, beat some poets, in respect For nature,-count nought common or unclean, Spend raptures upon perfect specimens Of indurated veins, distorted joints, Or beautiful new cases of curved spine; While we, we are shocked at nature's falling off, We dare to shrink back from her warts and blains.
