What is ment by "and yet god has not said a word" ??

Question

im doing a essay on the poem porphyria's lover by robert browning and i need to no what that line suggests?

Answer 1

Maybe it means "God is not helping, yet".

Answer 2

Without knowing the rest of the poem, I would say it's that something really bad has happened in the world and God has done nothing about it (i.e. "God has not said a word").

Answer 3

i haven't read the poem, but it looks like its saying he's condoning whatever is going on. As if he hasn't had any objections to it yet.

Sound good?

Answer 4

To me the quote means that a lot of individuals want us to believe what they believe but God has not told us himself.

Answer 5

To me it means God is looking down on us with concern and disappointment many times,  but has yet to speak to us of his concerns for the world!

Answer 6

SILENCE FROM ON HIGH

Answer 7

It depends what context it is in.
