In which lines in this poem does the speaker compare her love to the pursuit of a social cause? 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.
