Synopsis
Excerpt from William Morris: An Address Delivered the 11th November 1900 at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith, Before the Hammersmith Socialist Society When he went up to Oxford in his nineteenth year, Morris had already developed the strong lines of his character. The subtle admixture of blood, of which science can give no full ac count, had made him a born lover of the Mid dle Ages, and a born hater of the ages which followed them. In the boy who refused to go to London to see the Duke of Wellington's funeral in St. Paul's, and spent the day in a solitary ride through the Forest to the remains of Waltham Abbey, the Morris of later years maybeclearly seen. This reaction from modern tastes was reinforced by the strong wave of the anglo-catholic religious revival. That wave had but lately spread over England, and on families brought up, like his, in a narrow Evan gelical tradition, it acted as a powerful stimulating force. On its archalogi al side, this in uence led him towards the study Of Gothic art. At Marlborough, with the aid Of the school library and all the specimens of ancient build ing within reach, he had made himself a good antiquarian, knowing, as he said himself after wards, most of what was to be known about English Gothic. Already as a boy he had ac quired a large and minute knowledge of trees, owers, and birds. The school system at Marl borough then left a boy free to use a great deal of his time as he liked. Close to it is the great forest of Savernake; all around it are the Wilt shire downs; and these surroundings were in complete harmony with his growing sense Of romance and love of beauty.

For many years thereafter it was in regular use for Socialist meetings, and chiefly if not exclusively at last for those of the Hammersmith Socialist Society. This Society, the last of those founded or joined by Morris, represents in a sense the success and failure of his life. It certainly represents the subject which in those later years engrossed his mind and lay nearest to his heart. When, therefore, Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson, one of the friends for whom Morris had a very special affection, asked me to open, in this historic room, this winter's course of meetings of the Hammersmith Socialist Society - the first after long disuse - with an address on the founder of the Society, and the former master of the house, the invitation was one which I could not well decline on the ground I have given elsewhere, that what I have to say about Morris I have already said in the published record of his life. I do not propose, however, now to go beyond or vary from that record, or to diverge into general criticism. What we think of great men matters very much to ourselves individually.
