the free spirited romantics
the dreamers
the lovers
Sonnets from the Portuguese, by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1850)
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 curved 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 us and aspire
To drop some golden orb of perfect song…
