Well, I have in all of my life written this to one person--You! |
XLlll How do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways. Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861 |
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 a 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. |
"all because of love when it arrived my temporal life from then on changed to eternal" -Rumi (1207 - 1273) . Daily correspondence of two souls- through time. We are stuff that dreams are made of. We come and go through many life times searching for the reason for existence, which is simply one word- "LOVE"
