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 every day’s
Most quiet need...

I don’t write about life—
I write to live. ✍️✨
Some people breathe air.
Some of us breathe sentences.

“Jenny stood facing me and recited the
poem she had selected ...
‘When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
until the lengthening wings break into fire.’” ~ Love Story (1970), Erich Segal.

Re-reading #ElizabethBarrettBrowning Sonnets from the Portuguese - of course I'm reading as a woman with a (long) history of chronic, debilitating illness... but can't find anything written about her from this perspective / reading her through this lens. Any suggestions? #disability #poetry
« Where Elizabeth found Margaret a bit too extreme, Margaret found Elizabeth a bit too retiring. Despite their initial assessments, these notable women easily established mutual ground. » www.nastywomenwriters.com/the-eventual...

« “I always imagine…I was sent on the earth for some purpose,” recorded Elizabeth, and by age 21 “she knew what it was to which she wanted to devote herself: poetry”. » www.nastywomenwriters.com/the-distinct...

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 every day’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.

How Do I Love Thee? by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sunrise
Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only they who see
take off their shoes.
