Famous quotes by elizabeth barrett browning:

    If thou must love me, let it be for nought
    Except for love’s sake only. Do not say
    ‘I love her for her smile—her look—her way
    Of speaking gently,—for a trick of thought
    That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
    A sense of pleasant ease on such a day’—
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
