Description
Excerpt from Fabre, Poet of Science
In undertaking this task my devoted disciple has to some extent been able to replace those Memoirs which he suggested that I should write, and which only my bad health has prevented me from undertaking; for I feel that henceforth I am done with wide horizons and far-reaching thoughts.
And yet on reading now the old letters which he has exhumed from a mass of old yellow papers, and which! He has presented and co ordinated with so pious a care, it seems to me that in the depths of my being I can''. Still feel rising in me all the fever of my early years, all the enthusiasm of long ago, and that I should still be no less ardent a worker were not the weakness of my eyes and the failure of my strength to-day an insurmountable obstacle.
