Brake Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“God keeps a niche In Heaven, to hold our idols; and albeit He brake them to our faces, and denied That our close kisses should impair their white,-- I know we shall behold them raised, complete, The dust swept from their beauty, glorified, New Memnons singing in the great God-light.” quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning — Download Open image
