I think this poem is ridiculous and disjointed. It is awkward to read and has little if any flow. Im sure you think i am just to average to understand it's intricacies, but i assure you it's not so powerful nuiances are not lost on me. i simply do not like it. i think this poem is desperately trying to be good, but pulling a bunch of words out of a hat and stringing them together in some semblance of order does not always make a good poem.

To Gordon Brown from United Kingdom,
i am with you 100%. if only those in charge could appreciate, and endeavour to hold within themselves, that kind of love.
reading this i couldn't help but feel sad. relationships are beautiful and wonderful things, and, after reading about such a love as that, i couldn't help but long for the same passion, the same depth of feeling felt by Elizabth Browning.
also, being somewhat of a poet/writer myself, this poem is an inspiration to me. i love reading such works as this. they help me to be able to write. but they are also great in another way. its my view that poems written in the victorian age have a certain degree of depth and meaning that poems these days just don't possess. people may disagree, but that's just my view.
i love this poem. at least there, we can all agree.

To Marion, Australia, 5th March
The lost saints are Browning's mother and brother whom she has lost probably because her father has forbidden them to stay in touch with her. He never spoke to her after she married Robert Browning, the famous poet, and it would be realistic to think that the others in the family would not dare to contradict him - after all this was Victorian times!

To those who wonder as to the deeper meaning of certain phrases in this Sonnet I would suggest that this is not a commentary on love generally, but an expression of deep personal feeling issuing from the background of the author's life circumstances and physical condition. To understand it all fully would require a knowledge of the poet's life - I can't think however that reading the sonnet inspires me personally to want to spend hours of research to be able to accurately speculate as to the innermost secrets of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's psyche.
What this poem does to me is to remind me that words well used can be as musical as the best song, and not for nothing is a sonnet called a sonnet. The form lends itself beautifully to the crafting of words.
If only an appreciation of the beauty of human creation epitomised in this art form and in this particular poem could be planted within the hearts and minds of all humans this world would be a more fulfilled and fulfilling place.
The stunning beauty of the piece is not that it is about love, but that it is born from love.
If you can appreciate this sonnet, even without understanding it fully, you are well on your way to loving your fellow human being, and therefore yourself and, unlike Mrs Browning, would not have to hope for death to bring the possibilty of perfect love.
