He taught us how to cross-question the very gods of life in their council chambers; he showed us what significance attaches to the simplest facts of natural history. Darwin impresses by his personality not less than by his logic and his vast storehouse of observations. He was a great man before he was a great natural-history philosopher.
I asked him; but he turned away, as if that matter were not worth his arguing, as, indeed, I suppose it was not, and led me through a little passage to a door with a curtain across it.
