Courage

By: Barrie, James Matthew

You have had many rectors here in St. An-drews who will continue in bloom long after the lowly ones such as I am are dead and rotten and forgotten. They are the roses in December; you remember someone said that God gave us memory so that we might have roses in Decem-ber. But I do not envy the great ones. In my expe-rience-and you may find in the end it is yours also-the people I have cared for most and who have seemed most worth caring for-my Decem-ber roses-have been very simple folk. Yet I wish that for this hour I could swell into someone of importance, so as to do you credit. I suppose you had a melting for me because I was hewn out of one of your own quarries, walked similar aca-demic groves, and have trudged the road on which you will soon set forth. I would that I could put into your hands a staff for that some-what bloody march, for though there is much about myself that I conceal from other people, to help you I would expose every cranny of my mind.
