Early Life
Son of H D Davies Esq, he was educated at Dulwich College. Horatio had in fact been one of the last poor scholars of the original foundation of the College of God’s Gift in Dulwich, the official name of the College from its foundation (although Dulwich College was used colloquially in Horatio’s time there). Horatio maintained that, as a small boy, he had seen the bones of Edward Alleyn, the founder of Dulwich College, when his tomb was moved.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“No two men see the world exactly alike, and different temperaments will apply in different ways a principle that they both acknowledge. The same man will, indeed, often see and judge the same things differently on different occasions: early convictions must give way to more mature ones. Nevertheless, may not the opinions that a man holds and expresses withstand all trials, if he only remains true to himself and others?”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
