Excerpt from Robert Browning in His Relation to the Art of Painting: Read at the Twenty-Eighth Meeting of the Browning Society of Boston, March 26, 1889

To-day, it is of one only of the arts that I wish to say a few words. To-day, I have the pleasure of speaking, to the Society which represents him in Boston, of Robert Brown ing in his relation to the Art of Painting, that we may see, so far as may be in the very limited scope of this paper, how deeply, how wisely, and how justly this Poet deals with the Painter. I shall have no word to say of Browning's own art: it does not come within my province to speak of his verse as such, only as it relates itself to my subject, as it ex plains or illuminates pictures and those who painted them.
