"One of the most popular women poets of the Victorian era remains one of our most popular poets today. Included in this lovely volume is the complete Sonnets From the Portuguese as well as sections from Casa Guidi Windows and Aurora Lee"

Hands down my favourite poet and love her poems. They are my go to when I need to calm my anxiety.

And tell thy soul, their roots are left in mine"

How do Ilove 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 candlelight.
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.

LA PUTA QUE EL AMOR EXISTE!!!! Yo no te la puedo believe, HERMOSO TODO, un alma sensible y torturada resignada a la soledad y la muerte, SE ENAMORA y ES CORRESPONDIDO, y de repente descubre que le quedan cosas por vivir y que vale la pena estar viva!!!!.  No me queda otra que darles la razón y EL AMOR TODO LO CURA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
