How do I Love Thee?

Sonnet 43  How Do I Love Thee? 

XLIII 

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 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. 
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. 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Original Art Sources

Looking for original art? Here are some sources to help you find what you are looking for...so far I have been heavily reliant on Etsy, but there other wonderful places to look for original art outside of local galleries...and you can always make your own art of course!
