Excerpt from Memorials of Robert Hugh Benson Robert hugh 'benson mysticism, the vision and experience which comes in passivity and by silence a silence more articulate than words as he wrote - was in the reach of the humblest. And a steady look at the man was needed. All that he gave to his contemporaries was the history of his conversion, that it might be useful to them. But there was never a word about his early life in the world, about his life as an artist in fiction. Soon we shall have many side-lights upon him, and ultimately the biography and letters promised by Father Martindale. It is here as a mystic, an Englishman who will take his place amongst the true mystics of the Church, that a few facts and souvenirs are put together with a permitted narrative of his life at home.
