Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Brother Copas In a former book of mine, Sir John Constantine, I expressed (perhaps extravagantly) my faith in my fellows and in their capacity to treat life as a noble sport. In Brother Copas I try to express something of that correlative scorn which must come sooner or later to every man who puts his faith into practice. I hold the faith still; but that "He who would love his fellow men Must not expect too much of them" is good counsel if bad rhyme. I can only hope that both the faith and the scorn are sound at the core. For the rest, I wish to state that St. Hospital is a society which never existed. I have borrowed for it certain external features from the Hospital of St. Cross, near Winchester. I have invented a few external and all the internal ones. My "College of Noble Poverty" harbours abuses from which, I dare to say, that nobler institution is entirely free. St. Hospital has no existence at all outside of my imagining.
