I've just acquired a copy of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's verse novel Aurora Leigh which I am very excited to start reading but can I just take a moment to draw attention to this arresting cover image.
It's a photograph of the French dancer Cléo de Mérode taken by Léopold-Émile Reutlinger, a German-Jewish photographer who took some truly exquisite images. It's also highly anachronistic since neither model or photographer were even born when Aurora Leigh was published in 1856 (naughty Oxford University Press!) but every time I see it lying around the house I'm drawn to it. So a good cover in that sense I think!
Some more photographs by Reutlinger:
French Soprano Aino Ackté
French actress Geneviève Lantelme
Poet and dramatist Edmond Rostand (the guy who wrote Cyrano de Bergerac)

How do I love thee?
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 By Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"I love thee.. with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life," Crowley said softly, earnestly. "And, if She choose," here he paused to take his angel's face in his hands and place the most tender kiss upon his mouth.
"I shall but love thee better after death," Aziraphale whispered along with his lover, their lips (sore and bruised from days and nights of constant kissing) gently brushing against each other despite the pain.
As a final punctuation mark, he pressed his forehead to the angel's and held it there a moment before taking Aziraphale's soft hand and kissing the back of it.
"Modern literature, Crowley?" Aziraphale remarked with a little sniff and a confounded shake of his head, clearly moved. "You never cease to amaze me, my dear boy."
