Yet this did not prevent him from seeing and denouncing the bloody extravagances of the Proconsuls, the representatives of Parisian authority in the provinces; nor from standing firm against the execution of the Seventy-Three, who had been bold enough to question the purgation of the National Convention on the Thirty-first of May.

And so Browning went back to Casa Guido. He had looked into the awful depths which Shakespeare had explored an agony of the mind beyond words, and beyond solution. The sense of pity and terror had been raised for which even the poet's art could find no purgation. What he said to the unhappy old man when he returned to Florence he did not tell us.
