"Browning's fondness for dramatic lyrics is perhaps more strongly marked here than it had been for some time previously, but the lyrics themselves have not the passionate movement, the concentrated energy, of many of his early dramatic poems. Narrative and reflective, introspective verse had become preferred before those of vivid action. The influence of Browning's beloved Italy is strong; sometimes too much so for complete healthfulness. His intellectual restlessness and discontent are expressed even more involvedly than usual in such poems as 'Rephan, while in 'Reverie' he approaches as near a concrete definition of his belief regarding the future as he ever put on paper.
