Rendition To Books Sonnets from the Portuguese

Elizabeth Barrett wrote these 44 love sonnets during her courtship with poet Robert Browning. After their marriage he convinced her to publish them, calling them the best English language love sonnets since Shakespeare's day. This is sonnet XXVIII, one of my favorites: My letters! All dead paper, mute and white! And yet they seem alive and quivering Against my tremulous hands which lose the string And let them drop down on my knee tonight. This said--He wished to have me in his sight Once, as a friend: This fixed a day in spring To come and touch my hand...a simple thing, Yet I wept for it!--This...the paper's light... Said, Dear I love thee; and I sank and quailed As if God's future thundered on my past. This said, I am thine--and so it's ink has paled With lying at my heart that beat too fast. And this...O Love, thy words have I'll availed If, what this said, I dared repeat at last.

Beautiful poetry...love Elizabeth Barrett Browning.How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways...Robert Browning was so impressed with his wife's love sonnets that he urged her to make them public.
