. . . . These states, in turn, are utterly different from the thrill of seeing the possibility of intellectual or artistic achievement, described by Charles Darwin in his Autobiography

The geology of St Jago is very striking yet simple: a stream of lava formerly flowed over the bed of the sea, formed on triturated recent shells and corals, which it has baked into hard white rock. …. It then first dawned on me that I might perhaps write a book on geology of the various countries visited, and this made me thrill with delight. That was a memorable hour to me, and how distinctly I can call to mind the law cliff of lave beneath which I rested, with the sun glaring hot, a few strange desert plants growing near, and with living corals in the tidal pool at my feet. ~Page 21/22
