1. I.—TO CHARLES COWDEN CLARKE.
1.1. [London, October 31, 1816.]
3
My daintie Davie—I will be as punctual as the Bee to the Clover. Very glad am I at the thoughts of seeing so soon this glorious Haydon and all his creation. I pray thee let me know when you go to Ollier’s and where he resides—this I forgot to ask you—and tell me also when you will help me waste a sullen day—God ’ield you[6]—
2. II.—TO BENJAMIN ROBERT HAYDON.
2.1. [London,] November 20, 1816.
7
My dear Sir—Last evening wrought me up, and I cannot forbear sending you the following—
10
Removed to 76 Cheapside.
11
Great spirits now on earth are sojourning;
12
He of the cloud, the cataract, the lake,
13
Who on Helvellyn’s summit, wide awake,
14
Catches his freshness from Archangel’s wing:
15
He of the rose, the violet, the spring,
16
The social smile, the chain for Freedom’s sake:
17
And lo!—whose stedfastness would never take
18
A meaner sound than Raphael’s whispering.
19
And other spirits there are standing apart
20
Upon the forehead of the age to come;
21
These, these will give the world another heart,
22
And other pulses. Hear ye not the hum
23
Of mighty workings in the human mart?
24
Listen awhile ye nations, and be dumb.[7]
3. III.—TO BENJAMIN ROBERT HAYDON.
3.1. [London,] Thursday afternoon, November 20, 1816.
27
My dear Sir—Your letter has filled me with a proud pleasure, and shall be kept by me as a stimulus to exertion—I begin to fix my eye upon one horizon. My feelings entirely fall in with yours in regard to the Ellipsis, and I glory in it. The Idea of your sending it to Wordsworth put me out of breath—you know with what Reverence I would send my Well-wishes to him.
4. IV.—TO CHARLES COWDEN CLARKE.
4.1. [London,] Tuesday [December 17, 1816].
32
My dear Charles—You may now look at Minerva’s Ægis with impunity, seeing that my awful Visage[8] did not turn you into a John Doree. You have accordingly a legitimate title to a Copy—I will use my interest to procure it for you. I’ll tell you what—I met Reynolds at Haydon’s a few mornings since—he promised to be with me this Evening and Yesterday I had the same promise from Severn and I must put you in mind that on last All hallowmas’ day you gave me your word that you would spend this Evening with me—so no putting off. I have done little to Endymion lately[9]—I hope to finish it in one more attack. I believe you I went to Richards’s—it was so whoreson a Night that I stopped there all the next day. His Remembrances to you. (Ext. from the common place Book of my Mind—Mem.—Wednesday—Hampstead—call in Warner Street—a sketch of Mr. Hunt.)—I will ever consider you my sincere and affectionate friend—you will not doubt that I am yours.
