Robert Montgomery, whom Macaulay killed, is a happier instance. And there may here and there also have been a poet or novelist like that "Pictor Ignotus" of Browning's, who cried: "I could have painted pictures like that youth's Ye praise so!" He would have had a painter's fame: "But a voice changed it.
Also, I never shall forget his delicacy to me personally, nor his tenderness of heart about my child. . . . The criticism was inevitable from the point of view of Mrs. Browning's nature and experience; but I think she would have revoked part of it if she had known M. Milsand in later years.
Chief among friendships was that with Joseph Milsand of Dijon, whose name is connected with Sordello in the edition of Browning's "Poetical Works" of the year 1863.
In the result, every hair and speck of him was represented; yet, as I inferred from what he did not say, this accumulation of minute truths did not, after all, amount to the true whole. Browning's nonsense is of very genuine and excellent quality, the true babble and effervescence of a bright and powerful mind; and he lets it play among his friends with the faith and simplicity of a child.

It is a life "without a catastrophe," except perhaps to her devoted father. And it is to this father's devotion that some of Mrs. Browning's poetical sins are due; for by him she was so pampered and shielded from every outside touch, that all the woes common to humanity grew for her into awful tragedies.
Browning's marriage; we learn this through an amusing paragraph in a letter from Mr. Next day came a letter from R. B., saying he had often meant to tell him or write of it, but hesitated between the two, and neglected both. 'She was better, and a winter in Italy had been recommended some months ago.
