TO MR. W. D. HOWELLS.
MY DEAR MR. HOWELLS.As this book was written in moments snatched from that Profession which is the chief business of my life, it has devolved—during its publication in the "Atlantic Monthly"—a degree of labor upon you as Editor, which I have all along greatly regretted.
Allow me, then, to inscribe the volume to you, in token of my sense of your unfailing courtesy,
And to remain,
Very sincerely yours,

"God created man in his own image, in the image of God created the him; male and female created the them."
- "For woman is not undeveloped man,
- But diverse: could we make her as the man,
- Sweet love were slain, whose dearest bond is this,
- Not like to like, but like in difference:
- Yet in the long years liker must they grow;
- The man be more of woman, she of man;
- He gain in sweetness and in moral height,
- Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the world;
- She mental breadth—
- Till at the last she set herself to man,
- Like perfect music unto noble words;
- And so these twain, upon the skirts of Time,
- Sit side by side, full summed in all their powers.
- Then comes the statelier Eden back to men:
- Then reigns the world's great bridals, chaste and calm:
- Then springs the crowning race of Human kind!"
