Elizabeth Browning definitely put a lot of emotion and power in her poetry. Reading one of her sonnets from Sonnets from the Portuguese you can just feel the emotion and love that she had for her partner, Robert Browning. Trust seems to be one of the underlining characteristics of her sonnets. To love someone is to put all of yourself into the relationship and give them your heart, you accomplishments, as well as your failures and trust that they will hold on to them. Sonnet 43 was my favorite out of all of them because I felt as if it were the easiest to read and the one I could relate to the most. Love is such an amazing feeling that so many people in the world feel, yet everyone may feel something totally different and independent from anyone else’s emotions; although being equally powerful. Line 11 in sonnet 43 stood out to me the most: “I love thee with a love I seemed to lose” I feel like she is saying that she did not know she had the ability to love someone such as she loved Robert. Maybe once before she had loved someone or something a lot, but loving him brought back a love and emotions that she had almost forgotten she had. Sometimes after going through a lot of pain and hurt loving someone is hard, but once you let the pain and hurt go loving them is the easiest thing to do. It’s amazing how much joy love can bring into a person’s life.
