96/268 So reputations are made, Mr.Chorley. Robert is working at a volume of lyrics, of which I have seen but a few, and those seemed to me as fine as anything he has done. We neither of us show our work to one another till it is finished. An artist must, I fancy, either find or _make_ a solitude to work in, if it is to be good work at all. This for the consolation of bachelors! I am glad you like Mr.Powers's paper. |
