More From Elizabeth Barrett Browning

- "The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness."
- "Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who’s sorry for a gnat or girl?"
