Porphyria's Lover - Robert Browning

?
I listened with
heart fit to break
1 of 16
soiled
gloves
2 of 16
she put my arm
around her waist - he is not interested
3 of 16
made my cheek
lie there
4 of 16
murmuring how
she loved me
5 of 16
happy and
proud - him or her? ambiguous
6 of 16
while I debated
what to do
7 of 16
perfectly pure and
good: I found
8 of 16
I found
a thing to do - lines have duplicate meanings
9 of 16
in one long yellow
string I wound
10 of 16
three times her little throat
I wound and strangled her
11 of 16
as a shut bud
that holds a bee
12 of 16
blushed bright beneath
my burning kiss
13 of 16
the smiling rosy
little head
14 of 16
and thus we
sit together now
15 of 16
and yet God has
not said a word
16 of 16
