Excerpt from WattsAlthough indeed Watts' life must be taken as a unity, yet one cannot refrain from the thought that there were in him three lives linked in one three lives corresponding to the three portraits he has left of himself, the youth of seventeen years, with ¿owing locks and Shelley-like attire (painted in 1834) the bearded man of forty-seven, in dark coat and sombrero hat, and the familiar octogenarian of the snow-white hair and purple skull cap. Even Watts' work lends itself to three such epochs, representing first the man who seeks his place, secondly, him who finds and becomes established in it, and finally, him who, from the vantage ground of attainment, strikes out with vigorous independence and freedom.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
