Ruth Padel (great, great, granddaughter of Charles Darwin)
To Emma, in case of my sudden death. I have just finished this sketch of my species theory. If true, as I believe, it will be a considerable step in science. My most solemn last request is that you devote 400 pounds to its publication.
More Funny Ideas about Grandeur by Ruth Padel (great, great, granddaughter of Charles Darwin)
‘There is grandeur, if you lookAt every organic beingAs the lineal successor of some other form,Now buried under thousands of feet of rock. Or else as a co-descendant, with that buried form,More ancient still, now lost.
Out of famine, death and struggle for existence,Comes the most exalted endWe’re capable of conceiving: creationOf the higher animals
Our first impulse is to disbelieve –How could any secondary lawProduce organic beings, infinitely numerous,Characterized by most exquisite Workmanship and adaptation?Easier to say, a Creator designed each.But there is a simple grandeur in this view—That life, with its power to grow, to reach, feel,Reproduce, diverge, was breathedInto matter in a few forms first
And maybe only one. To say that while this planetHas gone cycling onAccording to fixed laws of gravity,From so simple an origin, through selectionOf infinitesimal varieties, endless formsMost beautiful and wonderfulHave been, and are being evolved.’
- I agree - I want to know more about this? – I have a question about this! - This is important
