Detailed explanation-1: -“The Last Ride Together” is a ten-stanza poem primarily focused on themes of love and loss. It takes the form of a monologue by a rejected lover reflecting on the end of a love affair. The title represents the last time the former couple takes a carriage ride together.
Detailed explanation-2: -A lover has been rejected by his beloved. He accepts this but asks a last favour from her of one more ride together. Out of pity, she agrees and he feels like a god to be riding at her side once more and hopes the world will end that very night.
Detailed explanation-3: -”Who knows but the world may end tonight” This is an excerpt from The Last Ride Together, a dramatic monologue by Robert Browning. The lady rejects her lover. However, she has consented to accompany him one last time.
Detailed explanation-4: -Disappointed in love, this dramatic monologue’s speaker asks his beloved to go on one final ride with him (perhaps on horseback, perhaps in a carriage). Along the way, he reflects that life rarely lives up to one’s dreams-but that life’s failings might, at least, leave people something to hope for from heaven.
