His breed is dying now, it has nearly gone. But as I remember him with that great quiet forehead, with his tenderness, and his glance which travelled to the heart of what it rested on, I despair of seeing his like again. For, with him there seems to me to have passed away a principle, a golden rule of life, nay, more, a spirit — the soul of Balance. It has stolen away, as in the early morning the stars steal out of the sky. He knew its tranquil secret, and where he is, there must it still be hovering.
John Galsworthy – A Portrait (1910)
Galsworthy’s portrait is fictional, but probably not entirely so. I wonder how many of us remember someone in a similar way? Someone who seemed to represent the best of a dying breed. A type of person our society no longer values as it we think it should because times change and new generations cannot value what they never knew.
The impression is easy enough to explain because times do change and different people do suit different times. Yet it isn’t easy to pick out people today who suit modern times to such a degree that their loss will be felt just as keenly. Probably it was always so and the sense of loss stems from an illusion . A remarkably powerful illusion though.
