Pode parecer heresia mas não gosto da versão em Português do Manuel Bandeira , para mim ele deixa de perceber a relação profunda entre idealismo, utopia e amor tão forte nestes versos.
How
Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, 1806 - 1861
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.
I love thee freely,
as men strive for right.
I love thee purely,
as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the
passion put to use
In my old griefs,
and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a
love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints.
I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of
all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love
thee better after death.
