I am amazed at how he wrote so intensely for one so young. It's as if the development line throughout his life was brought forward to account for a fated early death. That's hogwash I know, but at times you can't help thinking that way. I know some would say 57 wasn't young for then, but for many middle classes and above (sorry to bring class into it), 57 still was nowt, even for the late 1800s.
