Sonnets From The Portuguese is a collection of love poems written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The title of the book is a reference to the nickname given to her by her husband, Robert Browning. The sonnets were written during their courtship and early years of marriage, and were originally published in 1850. The poems are deeply personal and intimate, expressing the intense emotions of love and devotion that Elizabeth felt for Robert. The sonnets explore themes of love, faith, and the nature of relationships. The collection is considered one of the greatest works of love poetry in the English language, and has been celebrated for its beauty, sincerity, and emotional power.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 freely, as men strive for Right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
