The extract engraved on Mitch's cigarette case is from Browning's most famous poem, number 43 in her collection of love sonnets:

"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 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." || The first video shows a short section of the waltz Blanche tries to engage in with Mitch; however, the second video has a better sound quality and you can actually hear the music. The third is an English version of the song, "Vienna, City of my Dreams."media type="youtube" key="zRtGD_r9-d8&rel=1" height="355" width="425" media type="youtube" key="7C9VbSUp59Y&rel=1" height="355" width="425" media type="youtube" key="NMdnB0_EegA&rel=1" height="355" width="425" ||
