Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Patteson of the Isles The story of John Coleridge Patteson has been told once for all by his cousin and first biographer, Miss Charlotte Yonge. All that can be done by one who would retell the tale in simpler form is to live with Miss Yonge´s book, until, as another writer has said, the quiet power of that life distils like dew upon thirsty ground. For Patteson himself is greater even than the great things he did. His story is full of adventure, of perils and escapes, of strangely beautiful places and fantastic people. But the greatest wonder of all is the strong, gentle, quiet man, with the smile before which savages dropped their arrows; the man who dreamed great dreams and carried them out with his life in his hand; who yet never forgot a family birthday; who never thought himself remarkable at all. ´A man who spoke softly. I myself have felt it so, as if God had put hard power into those soft words. Every single boy of us he loved entirely. In his heart there was love and nothing else.´ So said the island boy who had lived for months in his company. One can fancy Galilean fishermen and farmers saying the like of Patteson´s Master.
