Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Henry Demarest Lloyd, 1847-1903, Vol. 2 of 2: A Biography Under the concrete crises and duties, Lloyd had been striving in travail of spirit to find a foothold of philosophy from which his aspiring soul might work and progress. He had watched, listened, studied, communed, eager to find out "how it is." It was impossible for him to accept on faith, or to adopt unchallenged the conclusions of other minds. Early in life he had described himself as "a reverent agnostic." Hence he bravely questioned, fearlessly entered the holiest ground. He claimed no right save that which belonged to every man of trying to find out, of contesting the claims of those who said they already knew all. The static virtues of duty, obedience, were too cold for his spirit. Other impulses burned within him. To aspire, to progress, was his conscious aim. Onward said his word and his deed. To be anything less than creative or productive was not in his eyes to be really good. Progress was a greater word than perfection. He believed in a "progressive revelation, a dawning day." "Man is fated to be ever asking questions of the sky," he said. His mother, realising the trouble of his spirit,once said: "The only thing that will make Henry happy is to find his God." This quest filled his deepest thoughts for years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
