“What we call Life is a condition of the soul. And the soul must improve in happiness and wisdom, except by its own fault. These tears in our eyes, these faintings of the flesh, will not hinder such improvement.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“I would build a cloudy House
For my thoughts to live in;
When for earth too fancy-loose
And too low for Heaven!
Hush! I talk my dream aloud -
I build it bright to see, -
I build it on the moonlit cloud,
To which I looked with thee.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years,
Those of my own life, who by turns had flung
A shadow across me.”

“In this abundant earth no doubt
Is little room for things worn out:
Disdain them, break them, throw them by!
And if before the days grew rough
We once were lov'd, us'd -- well enough,
I think, we've far'd, my heart and I.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“When our two souls stand up erect and strong,
Face to face, silent, drawing nigh and nigher,
Until the lengthening wings break into fire
At either curvèd point,---what bitter wrong
Can the earth do to us, that we should not long
Be here contented? Think! In mounting higher,
The angels would press on us and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song
Into our deep, dear silence. Let us stay
Rather on earth, Belovèd,---where the unfit
Contrarious moods of men recoil away
And isolate pure spirits, and permit
A place to stand and love in for a day,
With darkness and the death-hour rounding it.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.”

But life will last as long as God finds it useful for myself and others — which is enough, both for them and me.”
― Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Complete Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning
