A man for all seasons

From Robert Whittington speaking of his esteemed contemporary, Sir Thomas Moore. Written in 1520.

More is a man of an angel's wit and singular learning. I know not his fellow. For where is the man of that gentleness, lowliness and affability? And, as time requireth, a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes, and sometime of as sad gravity. A man for all seasons.
