Excerpt from His Lady of the Sonnets

"I shall never, in the years remaining,
Paint you pictures, no, nor carve you statues,
Make you music that should all-express me,
So it seems: I stand on my attainment.
This of verse alone, one life allows me,
Verse and nothing else have I to give you.
Other heights in other lives, God willing:
All the gifts from all the heights, your own, Love!"

Robert Browning.
