"In this personal memoir, Rudolph Schevill, one of the founders of Hispanic studies, traces the cultural development of a young American of the late nineteenth century. In a style notable at once for its spareness and its elegance, he movingly evokes a lost world in which realizing high purpose and striving for intellectual fulfillment remained unquestioned virtues."
--Herbert Lindenberger
"Schevill gave the word humanism the only meaning I could accept then and now, that of knowledge learned through action, or erudition blossomed in the act of poetry."
---Fernando Alegrķa
