+It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many
+plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various
+insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth,
+and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different
+from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner,
+have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in
+the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is
+almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and
+direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and
+disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life,
+and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of
+Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war
+of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are
+capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals,
+directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its
+several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or
+into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to
+the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most
+beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
