Stanza One
In the first lines of ‘Love Among the Ruins,’ Browning’s speaker describes a ruined city. It was once “great and gay” but is now somewhere that “sheep / Half-asleep / Tinkle Howard thro’ the twilight.” It’s a place of peace and memory, the speaker suggests.

In the past, the land didn’t have the same carpet of grass that it does now. It covers every “vestige of the city” that was “Stock or stone.” Where all these men of the past, the “multitude” breathed, lived, and suffered, have been consumed by the natural world. The speaker elevates nature’s power in these lines by reiterating how strong and brave the men were. They were filled with glory and the desire to earn more. In these lines, there is also something negative growing. Pride and glory ar...
