Quotation
Organic life beneath the shoreless waves / Was born and nurs'd in ocean's pearly caves; / First forms minute, unseen by spheric glass, / Move on the mud, or pierce the watery mass; / These, as successive generations bloom, / New powers acquire and larger limbs assume; / Whence countless groups of vegetation spring, / And breathing realms of fin and feet and wing.
