Siegfried Sassoon Quotes
It Is Also Worth Noting That It Was Only Through My Urgent Instigation That He Printed A Short Poem Of His Own. This Was In Accordance With His Essential Unassumingness. Though Not Clearly Conscious Of It At The Time, I Now Realize That In A Young Man Of Twnty-four His Selflessness Was Extraordinary. The Clue To His Poetic Genius Was Sympathy, Not Only In His Detached Outlook Upon Humanity But In All His Actions And Responses Towards Individuals. I Can Remember Nothing In My Observations Of His Character Which Showed Any Sign Of Egotism Or Desire For Self-advancement. When Contrasting The Two Of Us, I Find That - Highly Strung And Emotional Though He Was - His Whole Personality Was Far More Compact And Coherent Than Mine. He Readily Recognized And Appreciated This Contrast, And I Remember With Affection His Amused Acceptance Of My Exclamatory Enthusiasms And Intolerances. Most Unfairly To Himself, He Even Likened Us To Don Quixote And Sancho Panza!
