The Letters of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Volume II

CHAPTER VII
164/192

I think, for instance, that Mary Anne Browne should never be compared to George Sand in 'passion,' and I can't grant to you that your extracts from her poems bear you out to even one fiftieth degree in such an opinion.

I agree with you just as little with regard to Dr.Holmes and certain others.

But to _have_ your opinion is always a delightful thing, and 'it is characteristic of your generosity,' to say the least, we say to ourselves when we are 'dissidents' most.
I am writing in the extremest haste, just a word to announce our arrival in England.
