There is grandeur in this view of life,
with its several powers,
having been originally breathed into a few forms or
into one;
and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according
to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning
endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful
have been, and are being, evolved.
