Waring by Robert Browning
A speaker laments Waring's unexplained departure from London, regrets withholding encouragement, and imagines the work he might accomplish elsewhere. Another speaker recalls recognizing him in a small boat that approaches an English brig near Triest and then sails away. The closing response renews hopes for Waring's future abroad.
