Quote of the Day: Darwin

April 18, 2020 by THE HOBBLEDEHOY

OK, that is a faux-quote, but the Hobbledehoy likes this real one from Charlie: “The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.”

Karine Polwart "We're All Leaving"

It’s Charles Darwin’s birthday. I wrote this song with @dave_gunning about Darwin as a grieving father, following the loss of his eldest daughter Annie at the age of 10. https://t.co/FyOlfvPccy
