PATRICK LEIGH FERMOR: A Tribute
Patrick’s death, sad news.
A rare and original man, a beautiful writer, a courageous patriot.
Locked up in my youth for banning bombs, I would like to think that Patrick might forgive my regard for fellow-Englishman, Bertrand Russell.
But possibly not!
Whether or not, his lifestyle and inspiration enlarged my life and imagination. And, vanity being what it is, I am happy to know that he read one of my books.
I shall drink to his health tonight in Dublin. And reflect on his last great journey home to lie forever with his beloved Joan.
Salutations!
