Junto a Chaucer y Shakespeare, Robert Browning (1812-1889) fue considerado por Ezra Pound como uno de los tres grandes hitos de la literatura británica de todos los tiempos. La hondura psicológica y las innovaciones formales que introdujo en el discurso poético dejaron huella profunda en la lírica inglesa y norteamericana del siglo XX, desde el propio Pound y T.S. Eliot a Louis Zukofski o John Ashbery, pasando por Dylan Thomas, Robert Lowell y John Berryman, entre otros.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin (German: Rattenfanger von Hameln also known as the Pan Piper, the Rat-Catcher of Hamelin) is the subject of a legend from the town of Hamelin (Hameln), Lower Saxony, Germany, in the Middle Ages. The earliest references describe a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, who was a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service, he retaliates by using his instruments magical power on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. This version of the story spread as folklore and has appeared in the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, and Robert Browning, among others.

Una nueva edición del tradicional cuento.

Este es uno de los poemas más asombrosos de toda la literatura universal. En él lo primero que llama la atención es su desmesurada longitud, más de un millar de versos; pero cuando vemos que consiste en un debate monologado sobre la fe y la incredulidad, no nos extraña que el lector ingles de mediados del siglo XIX (se publico en 1855, dentro de los dos volumenes de Hombres y mujeres) diera la espalda a una idea tan insolita, por no decir extravagante.Un obispo catolico ingles, de sobremesa y entre vasos de clarete, se entrega a un largo soliloquio en presencia de un librepensador que ha escrito sobre el. La Apologia, con su utilitarismo pragmatico, que quiza Browning no se toma muy en serio, tiene un doble filo; tanto los agnosticos como los creyentes van a sentirse inseguros con este personaje; en resumidas cuentas, no sabemos si es simpatico o no, si estamos o no de acuerdo con el, si convence o no convence. Y el final abierto del poema aumenta las dudas en vez de disiparlas.

In the depths of a desolate wasteland, a solitary wall stands as a haunting testament to a forgotten past. Its crumbling facade whispers tales of a once-vibrant civilization, now reduced to ruins.As a lone traveler stumbles upon this enigmatic structure, he is drawn into a labyrinth of memories and secrets. The wall becomes a canvas upon which the stories of its former inhabitants are etched, revealing a tapestry of love, loss, and the indomitable spirit that once thrived within its embrace.

In the depths of a souls yearning, Robert Brownings "Wanting is - What?" unravels the enigmatic nature of desire. Through a series of introspective verses, the poet explores the paradoxical essence of longing, where fulfillment and emptiness intertwine.With each line, Browning delves into the complexities of human nature, questioning the true nature of our wants and the elusive object of our affections. As the poem progresses, it becomes a meditation on the bittersweet dance between desire and its unattainability, leaving readers to ponder the profound question: What is it that we truly want?
