Aurora and Romney Leigh from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's epic verse novel. I think they are one of the perfect couples in literature, two independent thinkers who loved each other and yet set out on separate paths as artist and philanthropist respectively, and returned to each other with the Voltarian realisation that “we must cultivate our garden ”. Soon after I moved to London, I made a literary pilgrimage to the Marylebone Parish church where the Brownings were married, where I read the last few passages from Aurora Leigh in the Browning room, the lines echoing the perfect partnership that the Brownings shared in literature and life.
