| Notes | Supplement to The New Statesman and Nation 2. ".... Keynes is so affectionate, loyal and warm-blooded that until one meets him in opposition one may not understand where he gets his reputation for arrogance. He has an unavoidable consciousness that he is intellectually superior to the great ruck of mortals. He does not suffer fools. He minds about culture and personal freedom, but not at all about equality; he hates waste more than he hates suffering, and he is quite capable of being ruthless when he wants his own way. He is the most benevolent, impish, dangerous and persuasive promoter of ideas, and his eyes, arresting, commanding and challenging at times, are at others as soft and lively as bees' bottoms in blue flowers. It is the less poetical side that Low reveals." [Twelve Biographies, New Statesman and Nation, London, January 1934] |
