The retired headmaster, a nonagenarian neighbour who lived at the end of the track beneath the moors. He welcomed me into his home and introduced me to books from an older world when I was nine years old. Surely among the finest and most generous of aristocratic English gentlemen.

Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, for personally demonstrating ousia to me at her mission in Kolkata when I was thirteen. She moved directly from scrubbing the courtyard floor alongside her fellow nuns to holding her own in conversation with a most formidable multitude. Surely among the finest and most generous women of her time. 

My housemaster and distinguished English teacher, from thirteen to eighteen, for the perfect image of being, power and intellect. Surely among the finest and most generous democratic gentlemen of his sort, originating from the Channel Islands.

The people of Kolkata, who, when I was thirteen, revealed the power of collective energy at a festival for Kali.
