Robert Browning was born May 7th 1812 in Camberwell, England. As a child, art works, multiple books, pictures, and music surrounded him because his parents were educated artists and a pianist. So at a young age he was already in a creative mind set with different types of literature and other languages to influence his writings. He was quick to learn how to read and write and was already able to speak in three different languages by the age of fourteen, French, Latin, and Greek. However, as he grew older, all his works he was publishing became to look as a waste of time due to the fact that the horrible reviews and the failure rate of what he was publishing. After all of his failures, he began to look into marriage and ended up getting married to Elizabeth Barrett, who became his inspiration and dedicated some of his work to her. He got more recognition for his works, but mostly because he was the husband to Elizabeth up until her death, then his works finally started to get noticed more. He wrote many poems and once he was present in the life of his fans and he started to get more praise by the end of his years of living. He inspired other writers and poets to never give up on doing what they love because sooner or later, many will love the work. His poems and writings affected society by showing that using symbolism, diction, and rhythm can be a useful and creative way to create writings and poems. All of his works actually influenced Robert Frost, Erza Pound, and T. S Eliot, which there works influenced other young writers and poets to write more and to express feelings and emotions in different ways. Robert Browning helped create a domino effect of influence on so many people to try and inspired people to never give up on their dreams no matter how much failure occurs. @Robert Browning's Famous Poems
