The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER IX
156/222

That unscrupulous bad party is repudiated by this majority--by this people as a mass.

I hear nothing but lamentations that Italians should be dishonored so by their own hands.

Father Prout says that the Emperor's speech is 'the most heroic document of this century,' and in my mind the praise is merited.

So indignant I feel with Mazzini and all who name his name and walk in his steps, that I couldn't find it in my heart to write (as I was going to do) to that poor bewitched Jessie on her marriage.

Really, when I looked at the pen, I _couldn't move it_....
Best love from BA.
* * * * * _To Mrs.Martin_ Florence: March 27 [1858] This moment I take up my pen to write to you, my dearest Mrs.Martin.
Did you not receive a long letter I wrote to you in Paris?
No?
Answer me categorically....
And you are not very strong, even now?
That grieves me.
