Quote of the Day (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, on Love and God’s “Meanest Creatures”)

“There's nothing low
In love, when love the lowest: meanest creatures
Who love God, God accepts while loving so.
And what I feel, across the inferior features
Of what I am, doth flash itself, and show
How that great work of Love enhances Nature's.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets From the Portuguese: A Celebration of Love (1850)
