Sonnets From The Portuguese XLIII by zeepatoprick(m): 8:40am On Jan 19, 2015 |
[b][/b] [center][/center] 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 candlelight. I love thee freely, as men might 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. |

Thanks for sharing this. The sonnet is one great style. I wish to write some myself, someday. Ayamlaykorn |
