In her tribute to Mary Gilmore in 1965, Dymphna Cusack observed : 'integrity is a lodestone even for those who do not possess it.' The comment was aimed at those who deprecated Gilmore's work during her life or after her death. No one belittled the work like Gilmore herself, though, and while self-deprecation requires self-knowledge, she could be sure she occupied a high place among Australian writers.' (Introduction)
