About this book
Memories and Portraits gathers papers linked by memories of childhood and youth and portraits of people who have died. The introductory note says the autobiographical character of the collection came about without an original plan, through beloved memories and regret for the dead. The discussion of society describes a Scot's possible disappointment in English conversation, while allowing that the visitor may expect too much.
The account of conversation explains how shared reading lets strangers move more quickly toward genuine exchange, with familiar characters and biographies carrying complex thoughts. The discussion of the arts measures music, painting and literature against the light, incident, feeling and suffering of life.
