I learnt this one from the uni, the lecturer was holding the greatest pation to introduce this poem. She also played the CD for us. We listened that voice, a middle age woman with her mature voice was shaking everybody's soul,. Oh, my! Is there really such such love in this world? Mrs Browning was blind when she wrote this. Maybe her soul was more clear and touching after she lost her sight. I lost the word to describe this but to feel it.
