I see thine image through my tears to-night,
And yet to-day I saw thee smiling.

Our Euripides, the human, With his droppings of warm tears, And his touches of things common Till they rose to touch the spheres.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
To love me also in silence with thy soul.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Full desertness
In souls, as countries, lieth silent-bare
Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare
Of the absolute heavens.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
We all have known good critics, who have stamped out poet's hopes Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause Good kings, who disemboweled for a tax Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs And damned the general world for standing up. Now, may the good God pardon all good men
