Barrett

Famous quotes containing the word barrett:

    “I love thee to the level of everyday’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.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “Men get opinions as boys learn to spell,
    By reiteration chiefly.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “What monster have we here?
    A great Deed at this hour of day?
    A great just Deed—and not for pay?
    Absurd,—or insincere.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
