Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tenth Muse It is plain enough that he loved country things, for a dozen books show it; but it is scarcely credible with what pure intensity this passion burned in him. The quietness of his writing, the irony, the acute wit, the never embarrassed penetration of his insight, the unexcitable strength of his mind, might mislead one into thinking him a man of cool tastes and desires. He was not. His physical qualities and appetites were powerful and fine; for all desirable physical as for all desirable spiritual things he simply hungered and thirsted; it was only his restraint and reserve that deceived. His physical presence itself was powerful and fine; his friends found him enviably handsome, although perhaps I ought to say that admiration never permitted me to think whether he was or was not. Nothing could be quieter than his eye, stiller than his body; at times his passiveness seemed indolent and complete. Yet he was the most restless of men, impatient of confinement, a wanderer who found his main delight in turning homeward, loving motion for its physical activity and for its perpetual freshening of the eye. He would go long distances for short visits, and use incredible care in order to spend an hour with a friend. In his desire of friends, again, the strength of his nature was shown. He had great capacities and great loyalties; the loss of a friend, if it unluckily occurred, through misunderstanding or the mere wryness of another´s mind, hurt and oppressed him.
