R500615A. Christmas-Eve and Easter-Day.

John Bull, 15 June 1850, p. 380.

As reprinted in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 16, 397.

The doubt and conflict of a mind in search of religion, halting between the submission of faith and the pride of self-reliance, is well portrayed, or rather reflected, in these effusions of a mind self-absolved from all the rules, poetic as well as theological, by which ordinary mortals are content to walk.
