Robert Browning (1812-1889) summarizes in his dramatic monologue -an epistle- his treatment of the subject of incarnation with its multiform consequences. this theme reveals how the spirit is embodied in matter. the poem gives way to the argument that between lazarus and karshish, first, and karshish and abid later the deed of lazarus resurrection gives way to creative tensions in regard to what the latter in each pair feels with his heart and understands with his mind. but experience overpowers any scepticism with love flowing abundantly outwards from its center, christ, to lazarus, then to karshish, next to abid, and eventually to the reader of this letter showing in this way how love operates as well as its far reaching consequences. Robert Browning (1812-1889) enfoca en su monólogo dramático “An Epistle” el tema de la encarnación, fusión materia-espíritu y sus consecuencias multiformes. Este poema da pie al argumento de que entre Lázaro y Karshish y entre Karshih y Abid se genera una confrontación entre lo que el último en cada uno de esos pares siente con su corazón y lo que entiende con su mente. Pero la experiencia, el testimonio, vence al escepticismo con el amor que fluye de su propio centro, Cristo, hacia Lázaro, luego a Karshish, probablemente a Abid y eventualmente al lector de esta carta. El autor resalta así el triunfo del amor y sus profundas consecuencias en la experiencia humana.
