Excerpt from Lead, Kindly Light: An Exposition

We know now, from his Letters, what a sad life Meredith lived. Death, and things worse than death, pursued him. He did not win fame till fullness of years had made him indifferent to it, till he was alone and could not share it, till he was wise and did not need it. None the less, at eighty the birds were still singing in his heart, and he knew not the set grey life, and its apathetic end. That is success - to have kept the vision and the dream, and feel the stir of youth in the wrinkles of age; sweet of heart and full of hope; in the hand a sword for evil, in the soul a bit of a song - glad to live, but not afraid to die.
