Excerpt from Sylvan Secrets: In Bird-Songs and BooksPossibly I am the only person in the world who ever fancied that the highest form of poetry may lurk in the problems of compara tive anatomy and physiology. Be this as it may, behind the hints and correlations and suggestions of dry bones and dessicated fossils there appears to me an epic of awful glory and power and significance. What a romance is geology! What a melodrama is life from its lowest to its highest forms! We are apt to look upon Darwin as a realist, but when we read him well he is a poet like Milton, a dreamer like Pythagoras, a prophet like Daniel, a dramatist like Shakespeare.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
