"The charm, one might say the genius,..." - Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“Light tomorrow with today!”

“But so fair, She takes the breath of men away Who gaze upon her unaware.”

“Why, what is to live? Not to eat and drink and breathe,—but to feel the life in you down all the fibres of being, passionately and joyfully.”

“What began the change was the very writing itself. Let no one lightly set about such a work. Memory, once waked, will play the tyrant.”

“I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. I see her, an old woman, weeping for me on the anniversary of this day. I see her and her husband, their course done, lying side by side in their last earthly bed, and I know that each was not more honoured and held sacred in the other's soul, than I was in the souls of both.”

“Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.”

“Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear”

“She is very clever, too clever for a woman. She lacks the indefinable charm of weakness.”

“Manners form the great charm of women.”
