I believe the correct line is "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." (Not: " How MUCH do I love thee....") This is a question posed by the speaker of the sonnet. When you read the rest of the poem, you find the answer(s) to the question. It's really pretty straight-forward. How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43) by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 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 every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. 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.
Sheeeeesh! You sure ask tough questions. Ummmmh! Can I get back to ya?...............Does it have to be someone I actually know? Well, phooey! Nobody comes to mind that I have ever met. How about if I just say Edyta Sliwinska? or Cheryl Burke? Gotta admit, I'd like to meet them.
