"The essence of all beauty, I call..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“She has seen the mystery hid Under Egypt's pyramid: By those eyelids pale and close Now she knows what Rhamses knows.”

“Love that endures, from life that disappears!”

“Utterance is the evidence of foregone study.”

“Rhodora! If the sages ask thee why This charm is wasted on the earth and sky, Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then Beauty is its own excuse for being.”

“Inexpressibly beautiful appears the recognition by man of the least natural fact, and the allying his life to it.”

“Until we can comprehend the beguiling beauty of a single flower, we are woefully unable to grasp the meaning and potential of life itself.”

“Lovers, when they are no longer in love, find it very hard to break up.”

“Falling in love is something that happens to us, being is love is something we do. No passion is self preservatory.”

“To be sure you know no actual good of me, but nobody thinks of that when they fall in love.”
