Dearest Mr Kenyon
I am ashamed not to have sent the Faun before,—but Hyperion I did send–
You see me in distress– I have lost Flush again, & now “man delights not me nor woman either”—at least I care very little for “books going off” & such sublunary things. Yet we shall have him again– They only want ransom– Oh—I hope to have him tonight, & then I may go out tomorrow perhaps– Now, I have not the heart–
In any other circumstances, your “want of energy”
[2 September 1846]. Browning, Elizabeth Barrett to Kenyon, John.
