Through bushes and through briars I lately took my way; All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play. I overheard my own true love, her voice it was so clear; "Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear. Sometimes I am uneasy and troubled in my mind, Sometimes I think I'll go to my love and tell to him my mind. And if I should go to my love, my love he will say nay, If I show to him my boldness, he'll ne'er love me again."
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Vaughan Williams: Bushes and Briars
Through bushes and through briars I lately took my way; All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play. I overheard my own true love, her voice it was so clear; "Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear. Sometimes I am uneasy and troubled in my mind, Sometimes I think I'll go to my love and tell to him my mind. And if I should go to my love, my love he will say nay, If I show to him my boldness, he'll ne'er love me again."
