Browning.

Browning lent Lord Coleridge one of his works fco read, and afterward, meeting the poet, the lord chief justice said to him: “What I could understand I heartily admired, and parts ought to be immortal. But as to much of it I really could not tell whether J admired it or not, because for the life of me I could not understand it.” Browning replied: “If a reader of your caliber understands 10 per cent of what I write I think I ought to be content.”
