One great and memorable poem justifies a life - work,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Barrett Browning: Selected Poems (Hardcover)
Reading through this volume I find it difficult to become deeply engaged. Something in the archaic, quaint language of much of the poetry deters.Yet there is a poem, the poem of all the anthologies that is a great and memorable one, one that justifies a life- work. " How do I love thee , Let me count the ways" is one of the most beautiful and inspiring love- poems ever written. |
