Robert Browning : Pauline, a Fragment of a Confession
Dante Gabriel Rossetti to Robert Browning, 17 October 1847: 'It is now two or three months ago that I met, at the British Museum, with a Poem published in 1833, entitled "Pauline, a Fragment of a Confession," which elicited my warm admiration, and which, having failed in an attempt to procure a copy at the publisher's, I have since transcribed. It seems to me, in reading this beautiful composition, that it presents a noticeable analogy in style and feeling to your first acknowledged work, "Paracelsus": so much so indeed as to induce a suspicion that it might actually be written by yourself [goes on, very formally, to ask whether this is the case].'
