Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(1806-1861) born on Mar 06
English poet.
She was noted for writing her own love story in verse.
Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes -- The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries. . . ."
God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.
What is genius -- but the power of expressing a new individuality?
"Measure not the work Until the day's out and the labour done, Then bring your gauges."
