  6. Elizabeth Barret BrowningHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways • 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 candle-light. • I love thee freely, as men strive for right; • I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. • I love thee with the passion put to use • In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. • I love thee with 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 shall but love thee better after death.

  7. Sonnet 18 Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimmed, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

  8. What do you think Sonnet 18 describes? OOOOH Baby I think I shall compare you to a summer day But, you know, you're prettier and even better, even calm Because sometimes it gets windy and the buds on the trees get shaken off And sometimes summer doesn't last very long Sometimes it's too hot And everything gorgeous loses its looks By getting hit by a truck Or just because everyone and everything gets old and ugly and shabby BUT (and here's the turn) you're going to keep your looks for ever Your beauty will last for ever I'm going to make sure that you never lose your good looks And that nasty old Death can never brag about owning you Because I shall write this poem about you As long as men can breathe (are you breathing?) As long as men can see (are you looking at this poem?) Then this poem lives, and it gives life and memory to your beauty.
