Elizabeth Barrett Browning
A woman's always younger than a man at equal years.

There Shakespeare, on whose forehead climb The crowns o' the world oh, eyes sublime With tears and laughter for all time!

For me, my heart, that erst did go Most like a tired child at a show, That sees through tears the mummers leap, Would now its wearied vision close, Would childlike on His love repose, Who giveth His Beloved, sleep.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
