Oil on Belgian Linen
20 x 16 in
Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds, or bends with the remover
to remove. O no! It is an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests
and is never shaken; it is the star to every wand'ring bark,
whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
William Shakespeare
Sonnet 116

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 to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sonnets from the Portuguese 43
