| Contents | Part I. For various reasons, I don't think the whole story of Gurney's life, friends, misfortunes will ever be known -- Part II. For after all, it is the artist's life which binds together the things of his creating, and neither of them is quite intelligible without the other -- Part III. On our right? That's the road to Ypres. The less said about that road the better: no one goes down it for choice -- it's British now -- Part IV. What's madness but nobility of soul / at odds with circumstances? |
