I had one or two other Short letters from him, and I hoped to avail myself of his generous invitation to visit him at Cambridge. We were not able to continue our discussion on paper. He had to prepare a course of lectures on English Poetry, I to work for an examination in Oriental studies new to me. Other causes set a check to my hopes of an interview, and I left England for India with the resolution that, on my return, I would visit him on the first opportunity. The news of his death came to me with a sense of personal loss.
I had hoped to reconsider my views in the light of his criticisms, to argue the difficulties further, and, if not to reach agreement, at least to arrive at that point where we must agree to differ. Now he has gone into the great silence. Whether he could have convinced me, or I him, cannot be known. But I feel that What interested him may interest some of those who loved him. The essay is, so far as I know, the most detailed criticism of his handling of the Agamemnon problem. His reply contains points which can hardly fail to be of interest.

Reseña del editor
It was never my good fortune to meet Dr Verrall; but the spell of his personality must have struck to the heart of all who have read his essays. Whatever the historians of scholarship may finally decide as to the tenability of his theories or the value of his methods of criticism, one thing is certain. He was a great and moving force. He must have brought home to many for the first time, as with the shock of a new discovery, that the works of the Greek dramatists are not a matter of text and grammar, of moods and tenses, but real literature, to be read and criticised as such. Where formerly editors gave us readings, he gave us ideas.
It is now twelve years since I submitted to him an essay challenging his interpretation of the plot of the Agamemnon, and putting forward a new solution. I did so with some little hesitation. He was one of the foremost scholars of the day, and 1 a particularly undistinguished undergraduate of a university not his own. In the interest of examining his views and of propounding my own, I had expressed myself freely,and yet when I tried to rewrite my paper in less forcible terms, I could not do it. Dr Verrall was, I felt, a scholar who challenged criticism, and revelled in it. I always think of him as of some strong swimmer battling in the breakers, borne upon the wave-crests, and shouting with the delight of combat. His mission was to inspire, not to convince, and I believed that, if my essay showed that he had aroused my interest, he would forgive any crudity of expression. And so, when, moved by an impulse which I could not check, I send him my essay, I was not disappointed.
I had not, however, been prepared tor the full extent of his generosity. I had thought that perhaps he would acknowledge my letter in a few kind words. It would have been easy for him, and I could not expect him to do more than, to say that he hoped, if I came to Cambridge, I would call and see him.
