Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from William Henry Wishard: A Doctor of the Old School
During the latter years of his life, when the physical limita tions of increasing age denied him daily contact with the world, which had been his delight and opportunity far beyond the length of time usually allotted to one, it was my rare privi lege to be his constant companion and to witness his wonder ful personality revealed in new and interesting ways, as can only be seen in the seclusion of the home: an experience which makes it difficult to write in moderation.
It is claimed that the blind have an intuition, or sense of perception, not possessed by the seeing, and often surprise their friends by discernments and revelations that have gone by unobserved by their associates. May it not be then that the hackneyed phrase, love is blind, has another and perhaps truer interpretation than the one usually applied to it? Through the eyes of love one can penetrate the richer depths of character and see evidences of nobility and goodness in those who are the objects of affection that are not apparent to the casual observer, or to those who see one under the stress of an active life.
