Rabbi Ben Ezra
Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in his hand
Who saith, "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
Not that, amassing flowers,
Youth sighed, "Which rose make ours,
Which lily leave and then as best recall?" Not that, admiring stars, It yearned, "Nor Jove, nor Mars; Mine be some figured flame which blends, transcends them all!" Not for such hopes and fears Annulling youth`s brief years, Do I remonstrate: folly wide the mark! Rather I prize the doubt Low kinds exist without, Finished and finite clods, untroubled by a spark. Poor vaunt of life indeed, Were man but formed to feed On joy, to solely seek and find a feast: Such feasting ended, then As sure an end to men; Irks care the crop - full bird? Frets doubt the maw - crammed beast? Rejoice we are allied To that which doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive!

Rabbi Ben Ezra
In 1864, Rabbi Ben Ezra was first published in "Dramatis Personae," and the poem had thirty-two stanzas of six lines each. William Devane believes that Browning was inspired to write Rabbi Ben Ezra by Edward Fitzgerald’s The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Although this theory has not been proven, the philosophy of the Rabbi and the Persian tent-maker possess remarkable similarities. For example, the potter’s wheel is a strong figure in both poems (Devane p. 293). In order to understand the character of Rabbi Ben Ezra, it is important to know that Abraham Ibn Ezra was pushed out of his home land of Spain and forced to become a sojourner in foreign lands. This experience allowed him to see the world and enrich his philosophies of theology and science. Ibn Ezra’s greatest achievements were his commentaries on the books of the Old Testament, and he was a strong believer in the immortality of the soul. Because the religious beliefs of the Rabbi Ben Ezra are so similar to Browning’s beliefs, the poem can be studied as an expression of Browning’s own religious faith (Devane p.294). The main theme of Rabbi Ben Ezra is the "unity of life." Using the present life as best possible is important for advancement into the future. The Rabbi believes in balancing the body and the soul so that "nor soul helps flesh more than flesh helps soul" (Powell p.198). Through the lines, "Our times are in His hand/ Who saith, A whole I planned," the reader can identify the religious confidence that Rabbi Ben Ezra has. He has a hope for the future and an acceptance of the present. According to Naish, "The teaching of the Gospel serves as present inspiration of a faith content to leave the future in the confidence. Life eternal is there defined, not with reference to a future state, but as the knowledge of God" (p.201-202).

    Rabbi Ben Ezra lived in Muslim Spain. Little is known of his life except that he was on friendly terms with the eminent poet and philosopher Judah ha-Levi, who some historians believe was ibn Ezra's father-in-law. Ibn Ezra made his reputation as a scholar and a poet. It is recorded that during this period of his life, up to 1140, he travelled to North Africa and possibly visited Egypt. From 1140 to 1160 ibn Ezra's life changed markedly. He was forced to wander throughout Europe during this period and he eventually settled down in Rome, then Lucca, for a few years before his death. It was during this latter period of his life that he composed his most famous works. In addition to his poetry, ibn Ezra wrote on [7]:- ... grammar, exegesis, philosophy, medicine, astronomy, and astrology. In addition to these topics, ibn Ezra wrote on permutations and combinations , the calendar, the astrolabe , and Biblical studies. He is of particular importance because he spread the learning of the Arabs through Europe at a time when scholarship in Christian Europe had been been neglected for five hundred or more years.
