WILLIAM SHARP (FIONA MACLEOD) A MEMOIR COMPILED BY HIS WIFE ELIZABETH A. SHARP, ELIZABETH A. SHARP [bill gates best books .txt] 📗

those inclined to censure William Sharp for his silence about Fiona

Macleod, yet, probably, had the world known, ‘she’—for in thought it

is always that—would have written no more. May we not remember Ossian

and others who shrank from revealing to all their secret?... I can

but bear testimony to the ever-ready and eager sympathy, to the sunny

winsomeness, to the nobility of the soul that has passed. William Sharp

was one of the most lovable, one of the most remarkable men of our

time.”

And, I would add,—to quote my husband’s own words—ever, below all the

stress and failure, below all the triumph of his toil, lay the beauty

of his dream.

 _To live in beauty—which is to put into four words all the dream and

 spiritual effort of the soul of man._
