A work of charity.(Letter to the editor)
Could Theodore Dalrymple's meditation, "Tolerance, If Not Respect" (March 13), be titled incorrectly? Mere tolerance (vide Mr. Dalrymple's father) is content that its object remain an opaque bizarrerie. It cannot move the moral imagination to that unsentimental compassion which renders lucent Mr. Dalrymple's reflections on Gosse, on a Swiss nun's lapse from dogma, and on some late British spiritualist's balm against a nasty irony of war. Mr. Dalrymple pays the tribute of grateful appreciation to Gosse's reverential oblations, to the nun's (as he sees it) happy fault, and to the human tragedy of nagging, inexpungible regret. That tribute is no work of tolerance; it is the work of charity.
