Autograph letter signed with initials : [Torquay], to Richard Hengist Horne, "Monday" [1841 February 15].

Agreeing to the title, "Psyche Apocalyptic" for their dramatic poem; discussing the geographic and time settings for the poem saying "Let it be, if you please, two hundred years ago - or something less, or something more. But now, I am unreasonable & covetous. You say 'If we have the antique time, we may have a Chorus of Satyrs.' I want the m̲o̲d̲e̲r̲n̲ t̲i̲m̲e̲, & t̲h̲e̲ S̲a̲t̲y̲r̲s̲ b̲e̲s̲i̲d̲e̲s̲. 'W̲a̲n̲t̲' is too strong a word. But I am i̲n̲c̲l̲i̲n̲e̲d̲ to the Satyrs - I lean to them. Yet after all, there are certain objections which I glance at reluctantly...such as the difficulty of sustaining the right satyrical tone, in the universal harmony. If we have them for a chorus, we must k̲e̲e̲p̲ them for a chorus, Do t̲h̲̲i̲n̲k̲ about it, dear Mr. Horne - You know so much more of artistic effects than I do. My private instinct is after all & certainly, to venture with them;" discussing, at length, the review of his Chaucer essay in The Athenæum and the possibility that George Darley wrote the review;
