No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began.

About This Quote

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began. The poet Robert Browning wrote these lines in his poem titled “Sestina.” He was referring to the beauty of the eyes of a beautiful woman he loved called Elizabeth Barrett Browning. He was too busy with his career to be able to wait until she was ready for him, but he dreamed about her every night. They were separated by distance and circumstances, but their love was still strong enough for them to wait for each other.
