Wyndham Lewis died in March 1957, either of the brain tumor that caused his blindness, or of kidney failure.

he was consistent only in his intellectual elitism and even this finally gave way to God. Contradiction was not only implicit in Lewis' life and work but had been explicitly extolled in 'The Code of a Herdsman': "Contradict yourself. In order to live, you must remain broken up." In the end there was only one constant - the projection of the great Lewis persona.

But what is most valuable in his writing is that amongst all the contradictions and errors, there remain brilliantly perspicacious insights. Lewis was the supreme outsider and, therefore, the voice of alienated rather than rooted elitism. In the context of the modern world, however, it is an understandable position.
