"How do I love thee? Let me count……" — Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"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."
