Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Morris, Vol. 3: Craftsman Socialist Most ages produce men who seem specially marked out for leadership, who by sheer force of personality alone impress and convince their fellows into some new line of action or some fresh view of life. In some cases their personalities have a sudden effect, readily convincing large numbers of people, and filling them with eager enthusiasm. Others have a more insinuating way of doing their work; they impress only a very few, and often lead popular opinion into the belief that they are making no impression at all. Of the work of such leaders of thought it may be said that it is not fully born but has to serve a further period of growth in the minds of men before it enters into full orders of practical life. The leadership of William Morris was of a type that partook of some of the qualities of each of these two. As a teacher he was never without followers, but he never made a popular impression upon his age. The impression he made was profound rather than broad. Those who came directly under the influence of his teaching and example were moved to desire nothing better than to devote their whole energies to carrying out his ideals. And he worked so thoroughly and so earnestly himself that his influence cannot but increase as the years go by. Those who were moved by his imagination and zeal, by his skill as a craftsman, and by his eager earnestness as a Socialist, were not confined to any one section of society.
