Jealous of the set of words you have access to, how you insert them at the right places and give them the wiggle room necessary to blossom

Thank you for the interesting read! It is interesting that you mention George Elliot here. I think she played a similar role for the materialists and the X-club in the 1860s. Again, it was a small group that shaped people's ideas for decades to come.

Wulf's book on Humboldt, The Invention of Nature, is a masterpiece. I'm excited to read this one of hers too.
