Barrett

Famous quotes containing the word barrett:

    The world’s male chivalry has perished out,
    But women are knights-errant to the last;
    And, if Cervantes had been greater still,
    He had made his Don a Donna.
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    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.
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    Eve is a twofold mystery.
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
