Selon los angeles delusion grecque, le fleuve Alphée, à los angeles fin de son cours, se jette dans los angeles mer, traverse l. a. Méditerranée et redevient fleuve dans l'îlot d'Ortygie, en face de Syracuse. L'auteur apprit à lire très tard. Mais, dès qu'il est livré à los angeles lecture, il se précipite " à sensibilité perdue " dans l'océan des livres, dans l. a. houle mouvante de l. a. tradition. C'est, dans sa vie, une très longue parenthèse. Toutefois, il preserve ou entretient comme autant d'antidotes des talismans disparates : objets insolites, photographs déroutantes, los angeles végétale, les contrées écartées, les minéraux. Ce sont, concerns de l'enfance, adhérences et fibrilles d'une tumeur salutaire. Un beau jour, elles lui permettent de sortir, autant que faire se peut, de los angeles bulle isolante, à l. a. fois étanche et transparente, où l'espèce humaine, l. a. plus tardive et l. a. plus ingénieuse, se calfeutre et règne avec toujours plus de succès. Comme le fleuve Alphée, il regagne alors une terre ferme. Là il connaît, sinon los angeles sérénité, du moins ce qu'il nomme les " embellies de l'âme ", qui lui procurent l. a. contemplation des pierres :" Pierres, data suprêmes, qui ne portez aucun texte et qui ne donnez rien à lire... " Le fleuve rescapé du naufrage n'aspire plus qu'à atteindre l. a. resource symétrique, celle qui éponge.

I apprehend that there are few friends of religion conversant with the higher phases of intellectual life during the period to which reference is here made, who will not grant that scientific theories have been assailed with undue severity, and quite needless apprehension, under the influence of religious zeal.
To trust our powers of observation, and to rely on our reasoning faculty, are the fundamental conditions of all knowledge. Through these avenues religious knowledge must come, as well as scientific. The risk of conflict is thus excluded here. * Least of all could such a challenge come from a religious basis, for the book of nature is to the religious mind the revelation of God in its own place and form, just as the Bible is in a different and higher form. The reverence belonging to religion will not derogate from the dignity of science.
