Image open page of a book Sonnets from the Portuguese. 43 in roman numerals How do I love thee? Let mm e count the wsys. I love thee to the de ppl th and breadth and geight 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 nen strive fir Right. I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise; I love thee with the passion put to use In my old gr I efs, and with my childhood's faith; I love thee witj 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 sgall but love thee better after death. To the side a colorful paper used as a bookmark that says Life is too shirt & unpredictable nit to live it exactly as you please.
