摘要

Sir john hale was a distinguished historian, charming, civilised and eloquent. At 69, just a month after he completed his masterwork, "The Civilisation of Europe in the Renaissance", a massive stroke left him scarcely able to utter more than two syllables of nonsense, although his understanding of language, both spoken and written, remained unimpaired. Before that, Sir John had been a natural star, who was widely admired as a teacher and lecturer. His American wife, Sheila, younger by 15 years, had no hesitation in deferring to him: "For more than half my life, I had taken John's superior intellect and imagination for granted. John was my encyclopedia, problem solver, the window through which I enjoyed life." Extraordinarily, he remained a star. Although never able to say much beyond his two syllables, he conjured the illusion of intelligibility. With gestures, facial expressions and all the rhythms of normal speech, he would "converse", occasionally bursting into hilarious set pieces, miming, imitating, doing accents, even singing the parts-convinced (until he heard tapes of himself) that the meaning he so clearly intended was clothed in words.
