"“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.”"
"كيف أحبك؟ دعني أُحصي السبل.
أحبك إلى عمق روحي واتساعها وسموها، حين تتلمس في الخفاء غايات الوجود والجمال الأسمى.
أحبك بقدر كل حاجة يومية هادئة، تحت ضوء الشمس ووهج الشموع.
أحبك بحرية، ككفاح الرجال من أجل الحق.
أحبك بنقاء، كإعراضهم عن الثناء.
أحبك بشغفٍ استُنفد في أحزاني القديمة، وبإيمان طفولتي.
أحبك بحبٍ ظننت أني فقدته مع قديسيّ الضائعين.
أحبك بأنفاس حياتي كلها، بابتساماتها ودموعها؛ وإن شاء الله، سأحبك أكثر بعد الموت."
