Sonnets from the Portuguese
Sonnets from the Portuguese, written c. 1845–1846 and published first in 1850, is a collection of 44 love sonnets written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The collection was acclaimed and popular during the poet's lifetime and it remains so today. Despite what the title implies, the sonnets are entirely Browning's own, and not translated from Portuguese. The first line of Sonnet 43 has become one of the most famous in English poetry: "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways."
