Dan Martin Artagnon A. Berania 3BPS LIT02 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 race. I love thee to the level of everyday!s Most "uiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for #ight$ I love thee purely, as they turn from %raise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood!s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose &ith my lost saints, ''' I love thee with the breath, (miles, tears, of all my life) ''' and, if od choose, I shall but love thee better after death.
Line 1. She loves this man in numerous ways, and would therefore need to count them. Line 2. Her love is as real as the three dimensions of all physical things. Breadth: width - a measurement of how far across her love is. Height - how high her love is. Depth- how deep her love is. Lines 3/4. She loves him will all of her soul and can not even describe how much. She likens her love for this man as much as someone loves God. Lines 5/6. She is comparing her love to our basic needs: air, water, food, shelter, kinship, and love - which we need everyday, all the time - both day and night. Line 7. She loves him not because someone told her to , but because of her own free will. This love is needed as much as a man needs freedom in order to gain happiness in life. Line 8. She loves him without desire for praise, but for love itself. Lines 9/10. She loves him as much as the intensity that suffering inflicts and with the blind faith of a child. Lines 11/12. She loves him with the same intense feeling as the innocence she lost as she grew older. Lines 13/14. She loves him with every breath she takes, every happiness and every sadness of her life. She will love him forever, and if God wills, even after life on earth. Her love for him will go on forever.
