Inspiration
The front of this card reads:
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 everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight
I love the 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 grief’s, 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.
