"لا يُعدّ امرؤٌ بلا أصدقاء ما دام له الله ورفقة الكتب الجيدة."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"I only thought Of lying quiet there where I was thrown Like sea-weed on the rocks, and suffer her To prick me to a pattern with her pin,Fibre from fibre, delicate leaf from leaf,And dry out from my drowned anatomy The last sea-salt left in me."
"لم يخطر ببالي سوى أن أستلقي ساكنًا حيث أُلقيت، كعشب بحرٍ على الصخور، وأدعها تنقشني بإبرتها نمطًا، ليفًا ليفًا، ورقة رقيقة ورقة، وأن تستنزف من كياني الغارق آخر ما تبقّى فيّ من ملح البحر."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"His answer was - not the common gallantries which come so easily to the lips of me - but simply that he loved me - he met argument with fact. He told me - that with himself also, the early freshness of youth had gone by, & that throughout it he had not been able to love any woman - that he loved now for the first time & the last."
"كان جوابه – لا تلك المجاملات المعتادة التي تتدفق بسهولة على ألسنة الرجال – بل ببساطة أنه يحبني. لقد واجه الجدل بالحقيقة. أخبرني – أنه هو أيضاً، قد ولّى عنه نضارة الشباب الأولى، وأنه طوال تلك الفترة لم يتمكن من حب أي امرأة – وأنه يحب الآن للمرة الأولى والأخيرة."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"You're something between a dream and a miracle."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"I tell you hopeless grief is passionless,That only men incredulous of despair,Half-taught in anguish, through the midnight air Beat upward to God’s throne in loud access Of shrieking and reproach. Full desertness In souls, as countries, lieth silent-bare Under the blanching, vertical eye-glare Of the absolute heavens. Deep-hearted man, express Grief for thy dead in silence like to death— Most like a monumental statue set In everlasting watch and moveless woe Till itself crumble to the dust beneath. Touch it; the marble eyelids are not wet;If it could weep, it could arise and go."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"And I breathe large at home. I drop my cloak,Unclasp my girdle, loose the band that ties My hair...now could I but unloose my soul!We are sepulchred alive in this close world,And want more room."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"In this abundant earth no doubt Is little room for things worn out:Disdain them, break them, throw them by!And if before the days grew rough We once were lov'd, us'd -- well enough,I think, we've far'd, my heart and I."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"It is rather when We gloriously forget ourselves, and plunge Soul-forward, headlong, into a book's profound,Impassioned for its beauty and salt of truth--'Tis then we get the right good from a book."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Better far Pursue a frivolous trade by serious means,Than a sublime art frivolously."

"Our Euripides the human,With his droppings of warm tears,and his touchings of things common Till they rose to meet the spheres."

"God's gifts put men's best dreams to shame."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Enough! we're tired, my heart and I. We sit beside the headstone thus,And wish that name were carved for us. The moss reprints more tenderly The hard types of the mason's knife,As Heaven's sweet life renews earth's life With which we're tired, my heart and I ... In this abundant earth no doubt Is little room for things worn out:Disdain them, break them, throw them by!And if before the days grew rough We once were loved, used, - well enough,I think, we've fared, my heart and I."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God."
