Bosoms Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“I would not be a rose upon the wall A queen might stop at, near the palace-door, To say to a courtier, "Pluck that rose for me, It's prettier than the rest." O Romney Leigh! I'd rather far be trodden by his foot, Than lie in a great queen's bosom.” quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning — Download Open image
