Excerpt from Romain Rolland: The Man and His Work
Since that year, no artist has been the subject of so much controversy. His fundamental ideas were not destined to make themselves generally known until there was a world in arms bent upon destroying them.
Envious fate works ever thus, interweaving the lives of the great with tragical threads.

Excerpt from Romain Rolland: The Man and His Work
The first fifty years of Romain Rolland's life were passed in inconspicuous and almost solitary labors. Thenceforward, his name was to become a storm center of European discussion. Until shortly before the apocalyptic year, hardly an artist of our days worked in such complete retirement, or received so little recognition.
