Additional quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.

And Marlowe, Webster, Fletcher, Ben,
Whose fire-hearts sowed our furrows when
The world was worthy of such men.

Earth's crammed with heaven...
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes.

Yes, I answered you last night; No, this morning, sir, I say: Colors seen by candle-light Will not look the same by day. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
