Elizabeth barrett browning quotes about death

You're something between a dream and a miracle. Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God: But only he who sees takes off his shoes. Silence is the best response to a fool.

Elizabeth barrett browning quotes about death: When the dust of death

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. Light tomorrow with today! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Why, what is to live? Not to eat and drink and breathe,—but to feel the life in you down all the fibres of being, passionately and joyfully.

You were made perfectly to be loved - and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long. True knowledge comes only through suffering.
