A VISIT 40 ROBERT BROWNING

Rev NJ. D. Conway sends to the Boston
Commonwealth the following interesting
account of Q visit to the poet Browning ::
There was no man in England that
desired to see SO much as Robert Brown
ing. Others, | know, set on a higher pc
destal the noble woman so lately taken
from his side; others are more enchanted
by the prince of artists, Tennyson, in
whom all the old minnesingers seem to
have reappeared; but the author of "Para-
celsus' hold to he the most powerful,
the author of "Colume's Birthday" the
most tender, the author of 'Pippa Passas"
the most dramatic, of all the poets since
Shakespeare.
Some have found Browning obscure,
and if "Sordello "were the only thing he
had written there would be justification
Of it. But in his other works one has on
ly to remember how exceedingly dramatic
Browning is--implying at every step that
his reader sees the picture, the 81 uation,
the movement between his lines to find
him q remarkable simple writer 1.-The
obvious" says Archbishop Hare, els fire.

who undertake to read these poems |
remember seeing, ten years ago, "Co-
lombe's Birthday performed at the How
ard Atheneum in Boston. 1t was brought
out by Miss Davenport at her benefit The
theatre was crowded by an audience who
came because she was tavorite, and
clearly knew nothing of the play Miss
Davenport had most carefully studied, not
only her own part of Colombo, but every
part, and the performance was finely sus-
tanned throughout. And when 1 saw that
audience spell bound the tears roll
ing down the cheeks of many who had
never heard of the play or its author be-
fore, thought to myself that for minds
able to get up in themselves scenery and
footlights Browning always writes. He
does not write for those who perpetually
cry to their author, Give US of your
imagination, for ours has gone out =" but
for those who have that sacret oil for an
alliance with his torch.
