| - "Porphyria's Lover" is a poem by Robert Browning which was first published as "Porphyria" in the January 1836 issue of Monthly Repository. Browning later republished it in Dramatic Lyrics (1842) paired with "Johannes Agricola in Meditation" under the title "Madhouse Cells". The poem did not receive its definitive title until 1863. "Porphyria's Lover" is Browning's first ever short dramatic monologue, and also the first of his poems to examine abnormal psychology. Although its initial publication passed nearly unnoticed and received little critical attention in the nineteenth century, the poem is now heavily anthologised and much studied. In the poem, a man strangles his lover – Porphyria – with her hair; "... and all her hair / In one long yellow string I wound / Three times her little throat around, / And strangled her." Porphyria's lover then talks of the corpse's blue eyes, golden hair, and describes the feeling of perfect happiness the murder gives him. Although he winds her hair around her throat three times to throttle her, the woman never cries out. The poem uses a somewhat unusual rhyme scheme: A,B,A,B,B, the final repetition bringing each stanza to a heavy rest. A possible source for the poem is John Wilson's "Extracts from Gosschen's Diary", a lurid account of a murder published in Blackwood's Magazine in 1818. Browning's friend and fellow poet Bryan Procter acknowledged basing his 1820 "Marcian Colonna" on this source, but added a new detail; after the murder, the killer sits up all night with his victim.

- L'Amant de Porphyria Porphyria's Lover Porphyria's Lover (L'Amant de Porphyria)) est un poème de Robert Browning d'abord publié sous le titre de Porphyria en janvier 1836 par le Monthly Repository, puis au sein des Dramatic Lyrics de 1842, en parallèle avec Johannes Agricola in Meditation (« Johannes Agricola médite »), sous le titre commun Madhouse Cells (« Cellules d'asile d'aliénés»). Le poème ne reçoit son appellation définitive qu'en 1863. Porphyria's Lover est le premier des monologues dramatiques qui, tout en restant relativement courts, explorent les méandres d'une psychologie anormale. Le locuteur s'exprime à la première personne et raconte d'une voix apparemment neutre, d'où n'émergent que quelques frémissements, la visite que lui a faite Porphyria, les tâches de la vie ordinaire qu'elle accomplit, puis comment il l'étrangle avec sa propre chevelure, et enfin passe le reste de la nuit à jouer avec son visage désormais à sa merci. Lors de sa parution, le poème reçoit un accueil confidentiel tant du public que de la critique. C'est aujourd'hui l'une des œuvres de Robert Browning les plus lues et les plus retenues pour les anthologies et les manuels de littérature. Son caractère énigmatique et son écriture atypique ont conduit les exégètes à de multiples interprétations. Toutefois, la plus communément admise est que le meurtre perpétré relève d'une pulsion pathologique. (fr)
