"But the best read naturalist who lends an entire and devout attention to truth, will see that there remains much to learn of his relation to the world, and that it is not to be learned by any addition or subtraction or other comparison of known quantities, but is arrived at by untaught sallies of the spirit, by a continual self-recovery, and by entire humility. He will perceive that there are far more excellent qualities in the student than preciseness and infallibility; that a guess is often more fruitful than an indisputable affirmation, and that a dream may let us deeper into the secret of nature than a hundred concerted experiments." Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Nature."
I have a blog, where I often write about the winged creatures that fascinate me: https://edwardoconnor.ca. And I post many of my photos on Flikr at: https://flickr.com/photos/152894743@N08/
