...would I, if I could, supplant one of any of the affections
that I know to have taken root in you - that great and solemn
one, for instance.I feel that if I could get myself remade,
as if turned to gold, I WOULDnot even then desire to become
more than the mere setting to that diamond you must always wear.
The regard and esteem you now give me,
in this letter, and which I press to my heart and bow my head
upon, is all I can take and alltoo embarrassing, using all my
gratitude.
Letter writing by Robert Browning To Elizabeth Barrett Browning
