How Do I Love Thee?

- Robert Browning – 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 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.

^{“쏟았던”}

내 그대를 얼마나 사랑하는지 - 브라우닝 -

내 그대를 얼마나 사랑하는지, 헤아려 봅니다.

내 그대를 사랑합니다 내 영혼 닿을 수 있는 깊이, 넓이, 높이까지 보이지 않게 내 영혼이 존재의 목적, 더할 나위 없는 은총을 찾아 헤맬 때에 도달 할 수 있는 그런...

내 그대를 사랑합니다 해가 있는 동안이나 촛불 가에서나 매일의 삶이 소리 없이 요구하는 것 만큼...

내 그대를 사랑합니다 마치 정의를 위해 싸우듯 아낌없이 내 그대를 사랑합니다 마치 칭찬을 외면하듯 순수하게 내 그대를 사랑합니다 .

지난 날 슬픔에 쏟았던 격정과 어린 시절의 신앙만큼...

내 그대를 사랑합니다 성인들을 잃을 때 잃었다고 생각했던 그 사랑으로 내 그대를 사랑합니다 내 모든 인생의 숨결과

미소와 눈물로 - 그리하여 만일 하느님의 뜻이라면, 내 그대 더욱 사랑하리 죽음 이후까지도.
