About this listen
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
By Robert Browning
Narrated by Denis Daly
This poem, rich in its palette of human emotions, is couched in simple narrative language. Some critics have sought to interpret the poem as an allegory and find a specific meaning for every phrase and picture, but the richness of its symbolism is not favorable to this kind of treatment. In some ways, it resembles a piece of music. Each mind can draw from it a personal, and, to the individual, satisfactory interpretation. Many will be able to see the poem as a symbol of fate which forces a truth-seeker to realize the falsity of ideals once thought absolute. However, in the face of the loss of those ideals, the individual can still find the courage to press on to the heights of aspiration.
