I Like to Think of Harriet Tubman
![]() |
Harriet Tubman Memorial in Harlem entitled "Swing Low" by Alison Saar. |
I like to think of Harriet Tubman.
Harriet Tubman who carried a revolver,
who had a scar on her head from a rock thrown
by a slave-master (because she
talked back), and who
had a ransom on her head
of thousands of dollars and who
was never caught, and who
had no use for the law
when the law was wrong,

How Do I Love Thee? Elizabeth Barrett Browning Counts the Ways
![]() |
Also known as Sonnet 43 from Sonnets from the Portuguese. |
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 candlelight.
