Opis

Excerpt from Little Journeys to the Homes of English Authors, Vol. 6 William man is a lonely creature, and has to work out his career morris in his own way. To help the grub spin its cocoon is quite unnecessary, and to play the part of Mrs. Gamp with the butterży in its chrysalis stage, is to place a quietus upon its career. The whole science of modern education is calculated to turn out a good, fairish, commonplace article; but the formula for a genius remains a secret with Deity. The great man becomes great in spite of teachers and parents; and his near kinsmen, being color-blind, usually pooh-pooh the idea that he is anything more than mediocre. At Oxford, William Morris fell in with a young man of about his own age by the name of Edward burne-jones. Burns-jones was studying theology. He was slender in stature, dreamy, spiritual, poetic. Mor ris was a giant in strength, blunt in speech, bold in manner, and had a shock of hair like a lion's mane. This was in the year 1853 - these young men being nineteen years of age. The slender, yellow, dreamy student of theology and the ruddy athlete became fast friends 366! Send your sons to college and the boys will educate them, said Emerson. These boys read poetry together; and it seems the first author that specially attracted them was Mrs. Browning; she attracted them sim ply because she had recently eloped with the man she loved. This fact proved to Morris that she was a worthy woman and a discerning. She had the courage of his convictions. To elope with a poor poet, leaving a rich 2father and a luxurious home - what nobler ambition P william o}. Burne-jones, student of theology, considered her morris action proof of depravity. Morris, in order to show his friend that Mrs. Browning was really a rare and gentle soul, read aloud to burne-jones from her books. Mor ris himself had never read much of Mrs. Browning's work, but in championing her cause and interesting his friend in her, he grew interested himself. Like lawyers, we undertake a cause first and look for proof later. In teaching another, Morris taught himself. By explaining a theme it becomes luminous to us.
