I´m sure you all know that time in office when you get too easily distracted and find yourself strolling through the internet? This is what I did an hour ago and I found such a cute ring I´m totally addicted to it:
The first five lines of an Elizabeth Barret Browning sonnet are engraved. As it´s a Germany shopping website it´s the German translation of the sonnet by the famous poet Rainer Maria Rilke.
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 candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive
for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn
from Praise.
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
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.
I better get back to work now :)
