Written in the Petrarchan sonnet form, the collection draws its title from Robert's affectionate nickname for Elizabeth, my little Portuguese, and includes the immortal opening line, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. The verse moves with lyrical grace and emotional intensity, arguing powerfully that romantic love is both a spiritual and transformative force. This edition includes illustrations by Fred A. Mayer and a foreword by Elizabeth Comsdon Kovanin, adding scholarly and visual depth to one of literature's most enduring declarations of love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48893813457115,"sku":"2026200009122-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f45ff4ba-3972-4cbd-97fb-72dd35270eb5.png?v=1782040693","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009122-secondhand-sonnets-from-the-portuguese","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
