The angels keep their ancient places:-

Turn but a stone and start a wing!

'Tis ye, 'tis your estranged faces,

That miss the many-splendoured thing. (Francis Thompson, O world intangible)

At the risk of being presumptuous, I do hope that the Journal's many and valued readers have not, themselves, missed the many-splendoured thing. It takes some working at but, by goodness, it's worth it!

I have now read several of Han Suyin's books and learned a great deal more about her. Accordingly, I offer this short Note as a tribute to her life and achievements.

Opposite is a recent photograph of Han Suyin and her husband, Vincent, which seems an appropriate postscript.

Han Suyin and Vincent Ruthnaswamy, October 2000
