How i love you let me count the ways poem


Asked by admin @ in English viewed by 321 People


In which lines in this poem does the speaker compare her love to the pursuit of a social cause?

Sonnet 43 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning:
"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day’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. 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.

I'm not sure which number the line(s) are since it isn't labeled, but I'll shorten the lines. "I love the freely, as men strive for right" brings up how people fight for social justice/cause, and maybe even the line following it.
