From The name and email address of the person sending the email Browning, Robert, 1812-1889 Text Any textual data included in the document [page 1] Saturday- <br />It is a relief to me this time to obey your wish, and reserve further remark on that subject till by and bye .. and, whereas some people, I suppose, have to lash themselves up to the due point of passion, and choose the happy minutes to be as loving in as they possibly can .. (that is, in expression,-the just correspondency of word to fact &amp; feeling,-for it,-the love,-may be very truly there, at the bottom, when it is got at, and spoken out)-quite otherwise, I do really have to guard my tongue and set a watch on my pen .. that so I may say as little as can well be likely to be excepted to by your generosity: dearest, love means love, certainly, and adoration carries its sense with it-and so, you may have received my feeling in that shape-but when I begin to hint at the merest putting into practice one or the other profession, you "fly out"-instead of keeping your throne- So let this letter lie awhile, till my heart<br /><br />[page 2] is more used to it, and after some days or weeks I will find as cold and quiet a moment as I can, and-by standing as far off you as I shall be able,-see more-"si minus propè stes, te capiet magis"- Meanwhile, silent or speaking, I am yours to dispose of as that glove-not that hand. I must think that Mr Kenyon sees, and knows, and .. in his goodness .. hardly disapproves-he knows I could not avoid,-escape you-for he knows, in a manner, what you are .. like your American; and, early in our intercourse, he asked me (-did I tell you?-) "what I thought of his young relative"-and I considered half a second-to this effect-"if he asked me what I thought of the Queen-diamond they showed me in the crown of the Czar,-and I answered truly-he would not return,-‘then of course you mean to try and get&nbsp;<br /><br />[page 3] it to keep’"- So I did tell the truth in a very few words- Well, it is no matter. ___________________________________________________________ I am sorry to hear of poor Tennyson’s condition-the projected book,-title, scheme, all of it,-that is astounding:-and fairies!-if "Thropès [sic, for Thorpès] and barnes, sheep-pens and dairies-this maketh that there ben no fairies"-locomotives, and the broad or narrow guage must keep the very ghosts of them away- But how the fashion of this world passes,-the forms its beauty &amp; truth take,-if we have the making of such! I went last night, out of pure shame at a broken promise,-to hear Miss Cushman &amp; her sister in "Romeo and Juliet"-the whole play goes .. horribly,-"speak" bids the Poet, and so M. Walladmir moves his tongue and dispenses with his jaws: whatever is slightly touched in, indicated, to give relief to something actually insisted upon and drawn boldly&nbsp;<br /><br />[page 4] .. here, you have it gone over with an unremitting burnt-stick,-till it stares black forever! Romeo goes whining about Verona by broad daylight: yet when a schoolfellow of mine, I remember, began translating in class Virgil after this mode, "sic fatur-so said Æneas,-lachrymans-a-crying" .. our pedagogue turned on him furiously-"D’ye think Æneas made such a noise-as you shall, presently?"- How easy to conceive a boyish half-melancholy, smiling at itself- Then Tuesday, and not Monday .. and Saturday will be the nearer afterward. I am singularly well to-day-head quite quiet-and yesterday your penholder began its influence and I wrote about half my last act. Writing is nothing nor praise, nor blame, nor living nor dying, but you are all my true life; May God bless you ever- RB.<br /><br />[page 5] To The name(s) and email address(es) of the person to whom the email was sent Browning, Elizabeth Barrett, 1806-1861 Location (Recipient) 50 Wimpole St, London, UK Geocode Recipient (Latitude) 51.5197315 Geocode Recipient (Longitude) -0.149073 Annotations annotations added by someone other than members of the project's researcher team; those annotations may have been added by the producer/creator of the item, an archivist, or by another researcher who had access to the archival material; may be specified as known or suspected due to context and content <a href="https://digitalcollections-baylor.quartexcollections.com/Documents/Detail/31-january-1846.-browning-robert-to-browning-elizabeth-barrett./344697?item=344701">https://digitalcollections-baylor.quartexcollections.com/Documents/Detail/31-january-1846.-browning-robert-to-browning-elizabeth-barrett./344697?item=344701</a>.
