In this excerpt from sonnet 29 by elizabeth barrett browning, which lines express intimacy? i think of thee! —my thoughts do twine and bud about thee, as wild vines, about a tree, put out broad leaves, and soon there’s nought to see except the straggling green which hides the wood. yet, o my palm-tree, be it understood i will not have my thoughts instead of thee who art dearer, better! rather, instantly renew thy presence; as a strong tree should, rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare,
