Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett, invalid, to Mary Russell Mitford, 10 December 1840:
'You cant guess what my business has been lately [...] my business has been retracing my
steps in the Village, your village [...] You cannot realize, -- you the writer -- cannot, -- the
peculiar effect of that delightful book, upon one in a prison like me, shut up from air & light
[...] It frees me at once for the moment -- shows me the flowers & the grass they grow by, &
pours into my face the sweetness & freshness & refreshment of the whole summer in a
breath.' |
