Edward Carpenter was born at Brighton one hundred years ago. Few people recall him to-day, and those who do probably dismiss him as a crank. But he was a remarkable fellow, lovable, charming, energetic, courageous, possibly great, and he was once an inspiration in the world of Labour. He deserves commemoration.

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Edward Carpenter was born at Brighton one hundred years ago. Few people recall him to-day, and those who do probably dismiss him as a crank. But he was a remarkable fellow, lovable, charming, energetic, courageous, possibly great, and he was once an inspiration in the world of Labour. He deserves commemoration." in the context of "E. M. Forster, "Edward Carpenter", in Two Cheers For Democracy. London, Edward Arnold & Co., 1951." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
