Browning's poem seems to be about the perennial conflict between nature and civilisation. In Freudian terms, natural impulses repressed by society's demands exact revenge but are in turn choked by, ' pavements, as with teeth, /Griped huge weed widening crack and split...' A very surreal, and perplexing, poem indeed!

Griped huge weed widening crack and split In squares and circles stone-work erst. Oh, Nature- good! Oh, Art- no whit Less worthy! Both in one- accurst! .. A great poem of Browning..... love it. tony
