- Title
Winking Through the Chinks: Eros and Ellipsis in Robert Browning's "Love Among the Ruins.".
- Authors
Merchant, Peter
- Abstract
A literary criticism of Robert Browning's poem "Love Among the Ruins" is presented. The idea that the end is actually a starting point is examined. The author goes on to look at love in further detail, its relation to the last line of the poem, and explains that although one expects the poem to come to an end it actually conveys the feeling of irresolution. The idea of an ellipsis is also discussed.
