Description:This volume was published in 1914.Excerpt from the book:Though I lived for centuries, I should not forget a colour, a shade, a line, nor any single detail of the thousand that form the mem- ory of my visits to Helen Keller, the celebrated deaf, dumb and blind American girL We are always making fresh ac- quaintances; we look upon it as a natural, everyday occurrence. We go to meet an unknown person with less emotion than we feel when visiting for the first time a coun- try or a cathedral; and yet it is often for us the preface to a great event. If we could divine the existence of exceptional creatures and go through the world seeking themeven as we go from one museum to another, then our travels would, in my opinion, be far more interest- ing and of far greater beauty. The mystery of our meetings is infinite, for each individual is a new experience. We have been told his name, his birth and his position; and yet we know nothing. What is his inner life? What are the qualities of his mind and heart? What are his interests, his long- ings, his sorrows and his joys? In a word, what are the elements that widen or narrow the distance be- tween us? Is a word enough to make us hope that we have bridged that gulf? Or shall we need months merely to perceive the other side, shall we be years in winding round its edges ?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
