The poem "How Do I Love Thee?" by Elizabeth Barrett Browning is a Shakespearean sonnet where the speaker expresses the depth, breadth, and extent of their love for another person. They love this person with both the passion of their past griefs as well as the faith of their childhood. The speaker claims that even after death, their love will only continue to grow stronger.
"My Little Portuguese”! Robert Browning used to address her in this pet name and Elizabeth wrote in Sonnet-33 “Yes, call me by my pet-name! let me hear”.Elizabeth Barrette Browning was one of the most prominent Victorian rational feminist poetesses.
A rational-humane point of view manifests itself in her poems.She developed this quality because she was "self-taught in almost every respect."
Edgar Allen Poe called her "the noblest of her sex” and borrowed the themetic elements of his famous poem 'Raven' from her poem.
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. His sonnets talk about love, friendship etc.The sonnets to the young man express overwhelming, obsessional love. The main cause of debate has always been whether it remained platonic or became physical.The first 17 poems, traditionally called the procreation sonnets, are addressed to the young man urging him to marry and have children in order to immortalize his beauty by passing it to the next generation.Other sonnets express the speaker's love for the young man; brood upon loneliness, death, and the transience of life; seem to criticise the young man for preferring a rival poet; express ambiguous feelings for the speaker's mistress; and pun on the poet's name. The final two sonnets are allegorical treatments of Greek epigrams referring to the "little love-god" Cupid.
