Meaning of “whoever may Discern true ends here, shall grow…”
The political poem links clearer ends with the character needed to pursue them, moving from discernment to courage, effort and persistence on a difficult road.
Where does it come from?
Casa Guidi Windows, Part II, printed page 143 in the represented Poetical Works volume, Project Gutenberg #31015. This corrects the inherited Part II provenance. The frozen catalog row begins ‘whoever may Discern true ends here,’ but the witness embeds that clause in Browning's longer sentence beginning ‘I tell you rather that, whoever may...’. Browning is arguing specifically about Tuscan/Italian political freedom in the Risorgimento context; the excerpt is not a context-free motivational or psychological rule.
