How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! —and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

 

There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet.

 

William Blake

 

She hath smiles to earth unknown—
Smiles that with motion of their own
Do spread, and sink, and rise.

 

William Wordsworth

 

There were…smiles of encouragement for Lydgate, and some smiles of sweet pity as well, as for the only leper present.

 

Anthony Burgess

 

Where Plenty smiles - alas! she smiles for few,
And those who taste not, yet behold her store,
Are as the slaves that dig the golden ore,
The wealth around them makes them doubly poor.

 

George Crabbe
