Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, Vol. 1 of 2 I could not even contemplate, dear Mrs. Benson, offering these pages to anyone but you, not only for the sake of the active good-will with which you sanctioned the suggestion that I should write them, and of the help you have all the while so generously given me, but because when once I had read the letters that passed between yourself and Hugh, I simply had no choice. In his life he had your unique affection, profound and permanent; all of that life that by God´s law he might, he gave to you: it would be robbing, so to say, the altar, if I kept back, or offered elsewhere, this biography (diffidently written, believe me, and blazoning in every paragraph the consciousness of its inadequacy). Asking myself, then, how I ought to try to write it, I remembered that you once said to him about a more famous biography: "There isn´t a shadow on the whole portrait. Just imagine it. I am going to hint gently that even glaciers have shadows, and very blue and delicious ones too - and to ask for the mention of a few endearing faults(I don´t believe his were, but I shall ask all the same)." And as one long a friend of yours so emphatically reminded me, "Il faut respecter le type que Dieu cherche à produire en nous."
