Sonnets from the Portuguese

[x_los]

I don't think I can stress enough how very, very good Barrett Browning's "Sonnets from the Portuguese" is as a collection? Not a bad one in there, and 75% of them were absolutely amazing. If you know the poet vaguely, by reputation, and are interested in this kind of thing at all, I really urge you to spend time with this short cycle of 44 poems.

Oh yes, we have a copy of this - small, very old and fragile and treasured - I must get it out again and read them.
