A Poetess with a mind of her own
By Novel AllenPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth, breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out...of...sight
For...the...ends...of...being...and...ideal...grace.
Opposing slavery, said:
"I belong to a family of West Indian slaveholders, and if I believed in curses, I should be afraid".
