About this Quote

In this quote, Dorothy Fields is questioning the capacity of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poetic capabilities. She acknowledges that Browning can composing lengthy poems, as evidenced by her ability to write a two-page long poem. However, Fields raises the question of whether Browning could have taken her poetic skills an action even more and brought her work to a music publisher.

Overall, this quote highlights the admiration and interest surrounding Browning's poetic abilities and the potential for her work to be adjusted into other forms of art.
