To Messra TICKNOR AND FIELDS: I take advantage of the opportunity of the publication in the United States of my "Men and Women," for printing which you have liberally remunerated me, to express my earnest desire that the power of publishing in America this and every subsequent work of mine may rest exclusively with your house. i am, my dear Sirs, PARIS, NOV 29, 1855. Yours faithfully, ROBERT BROWNING. TO ROBERT BROWNING. THERE is delight in singing, though none hear In praising, though the praiser sit alone So varied in discourse. But warmer climes The Siren waits thee, singing song for song. WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR |
