How do I love thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and and breadth and height
My soul can reach....
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle light.

So, I thought this week we'd have a Wedding Week of quotes and poems which we didn't use but I love. My favourite line is 'most quiet need'.
