TT: Almanac

"I am sad today over the death of Lady Elgar. I am very fond of Edward, and I know that, whatever people may say, to a man of his fine and sensitive nature, the severance of a long tie like this must inevitably mean much bitterness and suffering, much dwelling in the past and self-reproach. We always seem heavy debtors to the dead: we feel they have not had their chance and that life has given us an unfair advantage over them."

Ernest Newman, letter to Vera Newman, Apr. 7, 1920
