...Morris was the same man with his robust grip on the realities of human nature, his steady aim that could not be dazzled by any intellectual mirage, his refusal to place any ideal before the ideal of a busily beautiful and happy life for everybody

1934 Bernard Shaw,

莫里斯是同樣的男人，他強硬地掌握了人性的現實，他的目標不能因為任何智力的幻想而眩目，他拒絕放置任何理想，在每個人的忙碌和幸福的生活的理想之前

HC改：莫里斯對人性的諸般現實有穩健的掌握，他的目的和目標穩定，不會為任何的腦力所幻想出來的美景所蠱惑； 任何理想都要先以每個人的生活之美和幸福為依歸。

The Work of William Morris 3rd Edition

by Paul Thompson

OUP, 1967,1977,1991

• The work of William Morris, New York: William Heinemann and Viking Press, 1967

Extensively revised, this third edition of The Work of William Morris encompasses the results of recent scholarship, including in particular the new perspectives of feminist scholarship. Thompson examines how Morris's concerns anticipated those of present day environmentalists and explores in full detail Morris's views on child-centered education. Bringing to life his magnetic personality, this biography of one of the original socialists offers insight into Morris's campaign to bring art back to the people.
