Sonnets from the Portuguese - 2025 ACF Fall

Question

The first poem in this collection ends as a “mystic shape” grabs the speaker by the hair and declares itself to be “Not Death, but Love.” For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this poetry collection, whose title misleadingly implies the poems are translations. The penultimate poem in this collection ponders “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.”

ANSWER: Sonnets from the Portuguese

[10e] Sonnets from the Portuguese is a collection this English poet wrote during her courtship by her eventual husband, Robert.

ANSWER: Elizabeth Barrett Browning [or Elizabeth Barrett Moulton-Barrett]

[10h] Exact term required. In a different poem, Browning states, “let thy mouth be heir to those who are now exanimate,” to encourage the use of this term. That sonnet opens with the command to “Yes, call me by [this term].”

ANSWER: her pet-name [accept “my pet-name”; prompt on name or nickname]
