As I listened, with darkness and melody, shadow and sound filling all
the room, I could not help remembering that the great composer who
poured forth such a flood of sweetness into the world was deaf like
myself. I marveled at the power of his quenchless spirit by which out of
his pain he wrought such joy for others – and there I sat, feeling with
my hand the magnificent symphony which broke like a sea upon the silent
shores of his soul and mine.” The Auricle, Vol. II, No. 6, March 1924.

Much has changed since then, when Walter Scott — now a literary wraith ( ━━ n. （人の死の直前に現れる）生霊, 死霊; 幽霊; やせこけた人.)— was the dictionary’s second most-quoted English writer after Shakespeare.
So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,
How know I what had need of thee,
For thou wert strong as thou wert true?

So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such things to be,
How know I what had need of thee,
For thou wert strong as thou wert true?
The fame is quench'd that I foresaw,
The head hath miss'd an earthly wreath:
I curse not nature, no, nor death;
For nothing is that errs from law.
The head hath miss'd an earthly wreath:

For nothing is that errs from law.
We pass; the path that each man trod
Is dim, or will be dim, with weeds:
What fame is left for human deeds
In endless age? It rests with God.

O hollow wraith of dying fame,
Fade wholly, while the soul exults,
And self-infolds the large results
Of force that would have forged a name.
