Tranquility

The life of Daniel Herbert can be divided exactly into two halves. The first 33 years are stormy and filled with unrelenting hardship. For a man of so much talent and intellect, the emotional and psychic pain was almost too great to bear. But the next 33 years he lived in Ross allowed him to fulfil many of his hopes and to find the love, acceptance and freedom he so deeply craved. Tranquility had arrived at last.

 

And so it is fitting to look again upon his masterpiece and see it in the golden light it deserves. Vale Daniel Herbert. We never knew you, and yet you speak to us still. Thank you.

 

But for the residents of Ross today, the battle to save the Ross Bridge from the further erosions of time continues. It is well worth reading of some of their struggles in this short article. We cannot allow a work of art like this to perish with neglect.
