Mysticism in English Literature Her knowledge of his poetry dates back to the appearance of 'Paracelsus,' not to 'Pauline,' of which there is no mention in her letters, and which had been practically withdrawn from circulation by the author. The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1 of 2) There are many ways in which Browning could have brought Paracelsus to a discovery of his error. Robert Browning Strafford is, naturally, the most immature of the dramas, written while he was still writing Paracelsus, and when he was very young. The Poetry Of Robert Browning In the character of Paracelsus, Browning wished to paint the dangers and disappointments which attend the man who believes merely in the intellect. Robert Browning In Paracelsus he emphasises the fact that the exertion of power in the intelligence, or the acquisition of knowledge, is useless without the inspiration of love, just as love is waste without power. Mysticism in English Literature In his youth he had begun as an imitator of Shelley, and Pauline and Paracelsus remain to show what the influence of the "sun-treader" was on his poetry. English Literature: Modern Home University Library of Modern Knowledge Paracelsus, The wondrous Paracelsus, life's dispenser, Fate's commissary, idol of the schools And courts, chews upon his worldly success and extracts its acrid juices. Robert Browning And in that choice of endless aspiration Browning confirms all that he thought, with regard to half of his theory of life, in Paracelsus. The Poetry Of Robert Browning Paracelsus was in all likelihood Browning's introduction to the literary world. Robert Browning Philosophy for Paracelsus is knowledge of nature, in which observation and thought must co-operate; speculation apart from experience and worship of the paper-wisdom of the ancients lead to no result. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time The honour claimed for Paracelsus of being the first of the Rosicrucians has been disputed; but his claim to be considered the first of the magnetisers can scarcely be challenged. Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions — Volume 3 A companion poem to Paracelsus—so described by Browning to Leigh Hunt—was conceived by the poet soon after the appearance of the volume of 1835. Robert Browning I have tried all the knowledge of the past," Paracelsus replies, "and found it a contemptible failure. The Poetry Of Robert Browning The same eccentric fastidiousness worked in him as a young man when he wrote Paracelsus and Sordello. Robert Browning With Schwenckfeld, and also with Franck, mysticism is still essentially pietism; with Weigel, and by the addition of ideas from Paracelsus, it is transformed into theosophy, and as such reaches its culmination in Böhme. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Maxwell, the other enthusiast, was an admiring disciple of Paracelsus, and boasted that he had irradiated the obscurity in which too many of the wonder-working recipes of that great philosopher were enveloped. Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions — Volume 3 Here we may rightly disregard the order of publication, and postpone the record of external incidents in Browning's poetical development, in order to place Sordello in its true position, side by side with Paracelsus. Robert Browning And then, when Paracelsus realises this, Aprile in turn realises that he wants knowledge. The Poetry Of Robert Browning Beyond this the poem of Sordello, powerful as it is, does not present any very significant advance in Browning's mental development on that already represented by Pauline and Paracelsus. Robert Browning Paracelsus distinguishes three worlds: the elemental or terrestrial, the astral or celestial, and the spiritual or divine. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time Paracelsus boasted of being able to transplant diseases from the human frame into the earth, by means of the magnet. Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions — Volume 3 By virtue of its central theme Pauline is closely related to the poems which at no great distance followed—Paracelsus and Sordello. Robert Browning This, then, is Pauline; I pass on to Paracelsus. The Poetry Of Robert Browning Pauline, Paracelsus, and Sordello stand together in the general fact that they are all, in the excellent phrase used about the first by Mr. Johnson Fox, "confessional."
