Isaiah Berlin's portrayal of "a man larger than life, composed of bigger and simpler elements than ordinary men, a gigantic historical figure during his own lifetime, super-humanly bold, strong and imaginative, one of the greatest men of action his nation has ever produced, an orator of prodigious powers, the saviour of his country, a mythical hero who belongs to legend as much as reality, the largest human being of our time."
