4/26 I delight in it, as in my early morning walks at Lugano, when I went threading the streets and by the lake away to "the heavenly mount," like a dim idea worming upward in a sleepy head to bright wakefulness. I have also had a complimentary letter from Mr.Dacier: 'For an instance of this delight I have in writing, so strong is it that I can read pages I have written, and tear the stuff to strips (I did yesterday), and resume, as if nothing had happened. The waves within are ready for any displacement. I do not doubt of excelling my PRINCESS; and if she received compliments, the next may hope for more. |
