Yes, Ms. Ly's favorite poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She was one of the most prominent poets of the Victorian era. Her poetry was widely popular in both England and the United States during her lifetime. A collection of her last poems was published by her husband,Robert Browning, shortly after her death.
Even if I do not know much about her, I like to read her poems and I would like to read more from her.
This piece is called 'Sonnet number Forty three'
this sonnet is always used in Quizzes, that's why I will give it as an example~
"Sonnet No. 43"
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 everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
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.—
