Excerpt from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Musician: His Life and Letters Good excuse indeed must he have who seeks to draw aside the veil that every man places between the world and the sanctuary of his personal life. Particularly is this the case where such men as coleridge-taylor are concerned. When one remembers his disposition, his dislike of public adulation, his unwillingness to discuss his work or him self; when one remembers him in the artistes' room, waving aside with a word of smiling thanks the compli ments which were very Often showered upon him, and turning the conversation immediately to other and im personal channels; when one remembers, after his first great work had been received with unqualified enthusiasm by a large audience, that he crept away unnoticed from the hall of the Royal College of Music in order to escape con gratulation - the need for excuse seems more pronounced than ever. Fame he could not be said to have despised he had the natural and right - minded desire of every worker for a sound public appreciation of his work - but its direct expression from the lips of others he always avoided. Wrapped as he was in his art, there was never a man less self-centred. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
