Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Century of Scientific Thought Other Essays There is a lovely mountain tarn, one of the many in that region of natural beauties known as Kerry, to which my thoughts have often turned whilst thinking over the subject of this article. High up, embosomed in the mountains, for the most part of the year it is even unfishable, because its sheltered position leaves its surface too glassy for the trout to be deceived by the fly. When, however, the wind blows from the right quarter, what a change in the lake! Its mirror-like surface is torn with waves, miniature waterspouts and spindrift rage and tear over its face. It is hardly recognizable as the peaceful thing it was, and will be again. For when the wind dies down, once more the pool returns to its peaceful state; once more puts on its glassy surface. Yet, no doubt, profound changes have taken place in the disposition of its waters: they are not as they were. The depths of the pool have been stirred, all cannot be as it was before the storm raged. The pool is the same, though a profound reconstruction of its constituent parts may have taken place. And any dweller by its shores could tell the casual visitor that such a storm, such a reconstruction, such a subsequent calm, was no unique experience, but a thing which had happened before, and must be expected to happen again.
