Sonnet 43 - How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways Comments

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. a very fine poem of Browning. tony

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 great10+++++++++++ (though The same as HOW DO I LOVE THEE Poem, also by EBB)

The same as HOW DO I LOVE THEE Poem, also by EBB. This is a WOW-Poem, means, most beautiful, most touching and most read by readers, since it is such a terrific bestest poem, created by EBB and inspired of course by her husband. A supertalented lady, a woman of all periods and ages, a true immortal poem from the very start. EBB is a very learned woman and despite her constant pains, God has given her many talents, as we all know. A poem full of superlatives to be mentioned.

This is my favourite from Sonnets from the Portuguese..One of the most beautiful love declaration ever written by a poet.

Beautiful True love, depth, passion Touching

An unconditional declaration of love

By far a love masterpiece of all Times and for all Times. Time cannot wither this immortal poem

NO GREATER LOVE POEM WAS EVER WRITTEN, EVER

Praiseworthy piece of work. An expression of keen loving nature of a beloved is shown with quite justification humour.

Perfection....................................

A great poem in countless ways.

Being able to express such depth of love is unique. I pray it followed her into eternity.

i hope most of us can still say those words like we really mean it. happy valentines day, please enjoy,

Beautiful write....Just simply beautiful.

There is nothing here of 'the heats which my veins fill' (Donne) . Pity the man who is loved only like this!

Obviously a deep love from heart to heart....wonderfully written poem from a juvenile mind....good

Graceful expression of boundless love... Perfectly...

Poem captures the whole circumference of her sphere of love. Goes beyond the depth of the ocean to the limitless universe

Yes I have enjoyed Elizabeth's countdown of love for many many years. I especially like how she sneaks in 'I love thee with the passion put to use' Who can resist the bold advance of such a naughty girl. Although sonnet 38 is so much more daring after the opening 'First time he kissed me, he but only kissed The fingers'. My favourite lines here? ‘The third upon my lips was folded down In perfect, purple state; since when, indeed, I have been proud and said, 'My love, my own.' Go girl, he really laid that one on you. However I am confused Shielda, what is this To George Sand: A Desire all about? ‘Self-called George Sand! whose soul, amid the lions Of thy tumultuous senses, moans defiance And answers roar for roar, as spirits can: I would some mild miraculous thunder ran Above the applauded circus, in appliance’ But secretly I do believe I know, the answer to the riddle is A Recognition, yes or no?

How can one love another one is well said in this beautiful sonnet by Elizabeth Barret! This love will indeed continue unabatedly both in sorrow and joy and also after death! Wonderful poem!
