[To William Hayley]

[7 August 1804]

It is certainly necessary that the best artists that can be
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
engaged should be employed on the work of Romney's Life. . . .
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
How can it be that lightness should be wanting in my works, while
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
in my life and constitution I am too light and aeriel, is a
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
paradox only to be accounted for by the things of another world.
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
Money flies from me; Profit never ventures upon my threshold,
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
tho' every other man's doorstone is worn down into the very earth
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
by the footsteps of the fiends of commerce. Be it so, as long as
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
God permits, which I foresee is not long. I foresee a mighty
L48.Hayley8'04; E754|
change.
