Description:Excerpt from William Morris: His Homes and HauntsBut then William Morris had all the good fairies on his side. He was dowered with a vivid imagination, which gave him one of the greatest artist-minds of the world; he was the possessor of a finely formed brain, which made him one of the most far-seeing of those political thinkers who have tried to lead their fellows; he was gifted with that somewhat indescribable quality called common-sense which enabled him to become effective and gave him success as a man of the world. As the man of business, as the artist and craftsman and poet, Morris came out a victor in honest and open com petition with his fellows. As a politician he compelled them to listen to him; they were bound to argue, they quoted his words, they were forced to attempt a reply - although only a small minority of them took his advice to become Socialists. To compel people to listen is to be half-way along the road to political success; it is usually the next few generations that obey the far-seeing statesman: he cries in the wilder ness of his own time, or preaches from the hilltops from which he sees the light that has yet to reach the valleys.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
