Therefore, among the two last lines of the first paragraph he uses a metaphor to exemplify the troubles of her lover. But he is exemplifying at the same time the idea of leaving behind the closed religious explanations to the mysteries of life and the idea of investigating and being more critical, (As she brushed it, the cornice-wreath blossomed anew, - Yon looking-glass gleamed at the wave of her feather.) During the second paragraph, the author continues with the same double exemplification of love and science. Here probably the most interesting lines, because of its clarity, are the three last ones. Line 13 (Spend invites my whole day in the quest, -who cares?) the reader to think that there is never enough time to be used for science, that there is always a new thing to discover. This line can be seen as a challenge to the ortodox Genesis, which defends that every single thing was created by God. But, perhaps, the best verse of the poem because of the double image it manages to build up, is the last one: But 'tis twilight, you see, -with such suites to explore, Such closets to search, such alcoves to importune! Through these last lines the double meaning of searching results evident. The use of verbs such as explore or the image of a lot of things and places to be searched through, make reference to the social events and the progress which were taking place at the time. But, at the same time, these lines are speaking about love, with the implied meaning of exploring the body of the woman he is in love with. Personally, I am impressed by the ability of Robert Browning to write such an interesting poem. I am impressed by his capacity to reflect a love story and the needs of his society at the same time in a poem, and in a very intelligent way. in a is a poem ‘Love Life’ which can be perfectly interpreted in one way or the other, it just has to do with the anxieties and likes of the reader.
