How Do I Love Thee - E. Browning

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 every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as men turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

- by Elizabeth Bareet Browning

Some years ago, I purchased a small book that had many quotations about love...
Though I am not into women in particular (Please don't think - like my friends do - that I will end up as a bachelor), I do read it time to time...

This became one of my favorite after John Donne... I am looking for my copy of John Donne's poems right now...Where are they...

Anyway, how do I love thee? How can love been done? In best way possible, doh!~~
