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 form 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.
