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 a 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.
Authors write stories or poems to entertain people. They also write to express their emotions. Some write because it’s their passion. While others, because it’s their devotion and life. There are many great writers of all time, Shakespeare, Petrarch and Browning. Elizabeth Browning was a sonnets’ writer during 1800’s. Her husband, Robert Browning, a poet writer, was one of her topic. Her intense love and passion for him led her to write.
“Sonnets From the Portuguese”, a title based on the pet name Robert gave her: “my little Portugee.” “Sonnet 43” was the next-to-last sonnet in this series, wherein Elizabeth expressed her intense love and devotion for her husband, Robert Browning. It is so intense that it rises to the spiritual level. She loves her husband freely without coercion. She loves him without expecting too much. She can even suffer anything just for him. And she even compares her love to him to the love she is giving the saints when she was a child.
In this series, Elizabeth implied that no matter what happened, her love to her husband is all that matters. No one can take away her love to him. Even death is not a hindrance to her love. And the idea about the power of her love and the depths it goes expresses the feelings that cannot be easily defined or explained.
The love for her husband is her way to express how good love is. That everybody should feel love in their heart, for opposite sex. That purely love can do anything for its good sake. Even one owns risk can do.
