Saying it had been thirty years since he first met him in Gabriel's [Rossetti] studio at Blackfriars Bridge; saying he was 23 years old then and in looking back "I see that I was a month old and that those 23 years are not to count--I'll be what age I like, and have been born when I like and presently I mean to come out with my own "Praeterita" & you mustn't fail me or express surprise if you find me stating that I have been a pirate and an arab before I settled down. You won't tell, will you? and if you write about me do cheat a bit and pretend."
