Mrs Browning was a student of the writings of Swedenborg, and she tells much of her new friend in a single Swedenborgian word "selfhood, the proprium, is not in him." Frederick Tennyson, though left in a state of bewilderment by Browning's poetry, found the writer of the poetry "a man of infinite learning, jest and bonhommie, and moreover a sterling heart that reverbs no hollowness."
