Excerpt from The Work and the Man

It is good that something should be known of a man whilst he yet lives. We are overcrowded with monu ments commemorating those into whose faces we cannot look for inspiration. It is always easy to strew ﬂow ers upon the tomb. But to hear somewhat, of living realities; to grasp the hand which has wrought, and feel the thrill while we hear of the struggles which' made it a beautiful hand; to see the face marked by lines cut with the chisel of inner experience and the sword of lonely misunderstanding and perchance of biting criticism, and learn how the brave contest spelt out a life-history on feature and brow; this is at once to know the man and his career.
