You were made perfectly to be loved - and surely I have loved you, in the idea of you, my whole life long.
More Quotes from Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
The works of women are symbolical. We sew, sew, prick our fingers, dull our sight, producing what A pair of slippers, sir, to put on when you're weary -- or a stool. To stumble over and vex you... ''curse that stool'' Or else at best, a cushion, where you lean and sleep, and dream of something we are not, but would be for your sake. Alas, alas This hurts most, this... that, after all, we are paid the worth of our work, perhaps.Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Books, books, books had found the secret of a garret-room piled high with cases in my father's name Piled high, packed large, where, creeping in and out among the giant fossils of my past, like some small nimble mouse between the ribs of a mastodon, I nibbled here and there at this or that box, pulling through the gap, in heats of terror, haste, victorious joy, the first book first. And how I felt it beat under my pillow, in the morning's dark. An hour before the sun would let me read My books

Or from Browning some 'Pomegranate,' which if cut deep down the middle Shows a heart within blood-tinctured, of a veined humanity.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
They say that God lives very high But if you look above the pines You cannot see our God. And why And if you dig down in the mines You never see Him in the gold, Though from Him all thats glory shines. God is so good, He wears a fold Of heaven and earth across His face Like secrets kept, for love, untold. But still I feel that His embrace Slides down by thrills, through all things made, Through sight and sound of every place As if my tender brother laid On my shut lids, her kisses pressure, Half waking me at night and said, 'Who kissed through the dark, dear guesser'

Experience, like a pale musician, holds; A dulcimer of patience in his hand.
