TEMPLE BAR.
THEoPHuE GAUTlEn,

Ono of Robert Browuing's critics has said that
his readers must pass through fyo stages OF mis-
understanding before even attaining distinct
consciousness that he is not to be understood at
all. This may not be true, says writer in
Temple Bar, reviewing Alr. Brownings
"FHEE At THE FAIR"
but it is certain that they havo at least three
fold difficulty to contend with: the difficulty at
tendant on all abstract operations OF thought,
tho difficulty OF performing them through the
Eedium Of another person, md the special diff
Guilty infused into them by the complexity Of the
authors mind.
+, Fifne at the Fair " is eaid to be se1io-fan-
: -tastic discussion On the nature Of sexual lore
and its relation to oil other modes Of aesthetic
life, and turns mainly On the question whether
such love best fulflls itself in coustancy OF IN
change, in devotion to one object, or in the ap-
probation OF many. Mr. Browning says every
thing that can be said On. either side, and neu-
tra1izes each argument in its turn; he mingles
sophistry with truth self satire with satire, nnd
leads Us finally to conclude that he. Neither
Judges nor sees any ground for Judgment; that
he holds the mirror to life with tbs Indifference
