No, I don't know what it means yet. Where did you find it? What is the context? Why are you assuming it means anything?

Dear Raymott,

please see Robert Browning to Elizabeth Barrett, 10 January 1845
paragraph 3, line 2

After all, I need not give up the thought of doing that, too, in time; because even now, talking with whoever is worthy, I can give a reason for my faith in one and another excellence, the fresh strange music, the affluent language, the exquisite pathos and true new brave thought; but in this addressing myself to you---your own self, and for the first time, my feeling rises altogether.

Many thanks

It means that he considers the language (English, as it happens) to be rich and abundant - in keeping with all the other things he mentions. He is a poet; he appreciates the richness of the language.

Duiter, can you see how helpful it would have been, and how much of Raymott's time would have been saved if you had given the context in post #1 rather than #5?
