The very word "autobiography" immediately suggests vanity and
boasting of impressive achievements. Nothing could be further from
the intentions of the author in this case. I take a fairly
jaundiced view of my life and its shortcomings but hope that with
the detachment of old age (I am 83) it may be possible to see past
events as near to real as one can hope to achieve and as far as a
fairly sombre temprament allows. I try to fit myself into the
context of the time and place as seen by an old man and not in the
full flood of emotion felt at the time. I am not suggesting my
experiences are unique although in one sense they are. We only have
one life and so can only know our own experiences and feelings
albeit assuming that others have closely similar experiences and
feelings. This after all is the basis of poetry or literature. I
hope therefore that the reader will perhaps be able to share some
of my feelings in a perhaps unusual but in no way extra-ordinary
life.
