[share] one of my favorite sonnets: How do …
How do I love thee
by Elizabeth Barrett
Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett is one of the greatest
Sonnet poets in England. Her romantic stories
with Mr. Robert Browning are so touched.
-- cut here --
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace,
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,-I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!-and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
