Marion is very charming dear friend—send it by all means. …
Be quite sure that there is nothing to fear for the volume—not only will it succeed for itself & for you, but it will be of incalculable use as bringing back young poets from the bad example of the Brownings & the Tennysons to truth & nature & the English tongue—which they maltreat in every page. …
