Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Physician´s Anthology of English and American Poetry This volume was originally intended as a birthday tribute to Sir William Osler by one of his old Montreal students and by another American ´pupil´ in a far different sense. Too late for the festal ceremonies in honour of his seventieth birthday, it was in the hands of the publishers when less than five months later (December 29, 1919), the ´Chief´ was taken from us; but the verses herein collected had already passed through his hands and met with his approval. What Osier meant to the medical profession in America, what be did for us, can never be adequately expressed. Omne individuum intffabtle. And his was an individuality so rare, so warm and radiant with goodwill toward his fellow creatures, that we shall scarcely look upon his like again. He was handsome, wise, witty, learned, courteous, fair-minded and brave; with the poet whom he most resembled in happy disposition, he might have said: To me Fate gave, whate´er she else denied, A nature sloping to the sunny side.
