Robert Browning has not always been dis
posed to sit down quietly under the charge
of obscurity. He wrote thus to friend in
1868: ~ can have little doubt that my
writing has been in the main too hard for

nicate with; but | never designedly tried to
puzzle people, some OF my critics have
supposed. On the other hand l never pre-
tended TO offer such literature as should be a
substitute Tor cigar or game OF dOminoss
TO an idle man. So, perhaps, on the whole,
| get my deserts and something oveT-not
crowd, but few | value more"
