It seems like this blog has become by little space to pull all the things I like together. Bits of song lyrics, poetry, news clips that grab my attention. I hope you guys reading don't mind... I mean personally I think it'd be cool not to have to read my rantings and ravings all the time! LOL
This poem I came across the morning while doing a research assignment at the JCDC library. I remember it from my CXC poetry book and I've always loved this one.
J, it's for you baby. I love you.
| "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..." by 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. |
