Smithy

This photo is a tribute to my dear uncle who loved gardens and cats, and was a leading historian ,mostly linked to Indian history. He will be greatly missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Thy nature is to forget thyself;
But we remember thee.
Thou shiniest in self-concealment
revealed by our love.
Thou lendest light from thine own soul
to those who are obscure.
Thou seekest neither love nor fame;
Love discovers thee.
