'The Tragedy will be considered probably "naught" as a whole, but of considerable entity of beauty in its detached parts. It appears to [italics]me[end italics] that there are even fine dramatic touches in it although it is not a fine tragedy [...] For the rest -- there is much which is beautiful & powerful -- only you have [end italics]to dig for it[end italics] -- Do read the sonnets to the painter .. & the next palinodia sonnet -- & the one beginning "A Poet" -- & that composed on May morning 1838'.
