THEY HAVE ALL SUNK INTO HIS VERY SOUL AND COLOURED HIS WHOLE BEING




And what love he ( PROFESSOR MAX MÜLLER ) bears towards India! I wish I had a hundredth part of that love for my own motherland! Endued with an extraordinary, and at the same time intensely active mind, he has lived and moved in the world of Indian thought for fifty years or more, and watched the sharp interchange of light and shade in the interminable forest of Sanskrit literature with deep interest and heartfelt love, till they have all sunk into his very soul and coloured his whole being.
