The Approach of an Amateur

Gerald Brenan (1894-1987), Thoughts in a Dry Season (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1978), p. viii:
I was never at a university and can claim no special knowledge of anything. All my life I have been a learner rather than a knower, a dabbler in matters that were often beyond my natural range or capacity, so that when I treat of these I can only excuse myself with the hope that in an age of specialists the approach of an amateur may have some interest.
