"In this abundant earth no doubtIs little room for things worn out:Disdain them, break them, throw them by!And if before the days grew roughWe once were lov'd, us'd -- well enough,I think, we've far'd, my heart and I."
Elizabeth Barrett Browning was an English poet of the Victorian era best known for Sonnets from the Portuguese and Aurora Leigh. She was among the most prominent English-language poets of her time.
