"After eighty-seven years of thought and observation, I say not merely that I believe in God –I can even say that I see Him."
Jean Henri Fabre (1823-1915) Frog Nature Writer
OK, so he was a religious nut who didn't believe in evolution and I probably wouldn't have been able to talk with him for 10 minutes UNLESS we were outdoors studying spiders and insects, in which case I would really really have found a friend of the closest kind. If you read Life of the Spider you will get a sense of one of the most remarkable nature writers of all time. His work is brimming with affection for living things.
