Which other Browning characters get two? Everyone just gets their single mad chance to speak all of their world of words, everyone but Guido, who has two chances, but still gets it wrong, until, maybe, the very end.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3383938214852108244.post-78779910863948265702014-08-23T11:29:36.116-05:002014-08-23T11:29:36.116-05:00"Shocked" was my reaction too.

Browning's poems, as a whole, move around this point where narrative circumstances conspire and nothing works -- the wound, whatever it is, can't be cured or fixed, and usually it's your own poor stupid personality that put you there, so there's not even the consolation of an honest martyrdom and you displace your legitimate terror or confusion onto illegitimate sources, helpless fallen animal that you are -- but that last line is where he rams it home most brutally.
