And ... if I thought you was able to form the least ... conjecture to yourself, of what was to come in the next page,—I would tear it out of my book.”

“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty.

—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
