His face was intellectual, and the abnormally delicate and mobile play of his features reflected a soul of extremely emotional and unusually delicate sensibility. When one spoke to him and he, as was not always the case, dropped conventionalities and said personal and individual things that came out of his own alien world, then a man like myself came under his spell on the spot. He had thought more than other men, and in matters of the intellect he had that calm objectivity, that certainty of thought and knowledge, such as only really intellectual men have, who have no axe to grind, who never wish to shine, or to talk others down, or to appear always in the right.
su rostro, lleno de espiritualidad, y el juego extremadamente delicado e inquieto de sus rasgos reflejaban una vida anímica interesante, excesivamente agitada, enormemente delicada y sensible. Cuando se hablaba con él y él—lo que no siempre sucedía—traspasaba los límites de lo convencional y, dejándose llevar de su singular naturaleza, decía palabras personales y propias, entonces uno de nosotros no tenía más remedio que subordinársele, él había pensado más que otros hombres, poseía en asuntos del espíritu aquella serena objetividad, aquella segura reflexividad y sabiduría que sólo tienen las personas verdaderamente espirituales, a las que falta toda ambición y nunca desean brillar, ni convencer a los demás, ni siquiera tener razón.
