Personal and Professional Connections
Friends with Aroldo du-Chêne de Vére
1906 (Circa)
Philpot found Du Chêne de Vère's philosophy of life 'most inspiring' and 'catching', particularly the 'importance of always passing on to new impressions, and the importance of never looking back in regret on anything [underlined] in the past, but realising that progression and development are really everything that is important...' [quoted in J.G.P. Delaney, (1999) p.12]
