More than Eyesight, Space and Liberty

I first came across these words by Goneril during Parents' Day at my previous school. I was reading a young readers' edition of King Lear which highlighted the below, and made me go Wow in the dull hours of the morning:

Sir, I do love you more than words can wield the matter,
Dearer than eyesight, space, and liberty,
Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare,
No less than life, with grace, health, beauty, honor,
As much as child e'er loved or father found—
A love that makes breath poor and speech unable.
Beyond all manner of so much I love you.

King Lear, Act I, Sc.i
