To summon up the image of a lost friend
2004
Overview
As Angela Huth points out in her preface to this anthology, eulogies for the dead at funerals and memorial services are quite different from obituaries. Obituaries are balanced pieces of journalism about someone the writer may well not have known personally. A eulogy, on the other hand, is delivered by a friend of the deceased to an assembly of his or her other friends. The air is heavy with grief, and the eulogist seeks to assuage it by evoking the best and most endearing characteristics of the one who is gone. \"The nature of eulogies is to be emotionally charged,\" writes Huth. As the late John Sparrow, Warden of All Souls, Oxford, said in his eulogy for Harold Nicolson, included in this book, \"if we can summon up an image of the friend we have lost and keep that image undimmed before the mind's eye, then we shall not have lost him altogether.\"
