Readers of Browning will recall how
deep was tho interest with which the
poet looked on a man who had talked
with Shelley.
And did you onco sec Shelley plain?
And did ho stop nnd speak to youT
And did you speak to him again?
How strango it seems and new !
Dean Farrar tells us that Mr. Brown
ing himself onco told him bow import
ant and interesting he thought it that
the young should have, as it were, land
marks in their lives by at least 6eeing
great men who belonged to a popular
generation. "Once," Mr. Browning said
to Dean Farrar, "I was walking with my
son, who was then a little boy, in the
streets of Paris. We saw an old man
approaching us in a long, loose, rather
shabby coat, and with a stooping, shuf
fling attitude and gait. 'Touch that
man as you pass him,' I whispered to
my little son. The child touched him
as he passed, and I said to him, "Now
my boy, yon will always be able to re
member in later years that you once saw
and touched the great Beranger."'
