“Invisible, impalpable forces streaming around us and through us; perpetual change and transformation on every hand; every day a day of creation, every night a revelation of unspeakable grandeur; suns and systems forming in the cyclones of Stardust; the whole starry host of heaven flowing like a meadow brook.”—John Burroughs.
“Progressive evolution is the universal plan. Everything which we meet in the world around us, matter and mind, every individual and all congregated masses, begin their course as germs and unfold in slow progression. . . .The faculties of all intelligent creation, all that you call mind, all that you call heart, are framed for an interminable series of evolutions. . . . It is not mainly the mould of this mighty frame of things which establishes it, it is the fact that creation is eternally unfolding new resources and presenting itself under successive and amazing combinations of which no creature in the universe had imagined it capable.”—James McCloud, a Presbyterian Minister of Lexington, Kentucky, in 1818, when Darwin was a small boy.
