THROUGH THE MICROSCOPE
It seems strange to me that the vast majority of people are content with only hearsay accounts of the wonders found “through the microscope.” It is a breathtaking world, filled with myriads of strange and fascinating objects which the naked eye could never see. Anyone who has never looked thus into the heart of a flower has not fully lived.
But the human mind prefers something it can recognise to something for which it has no name; and whereas thousands of persons carry field glasses to bring horses, ships or steeples close to them, only a few carry even the simplest pocket microscope. Yet it would reveal wonders a thousand times more thrilling than anything Alice saw behind the looking-glass.—David Fairchild.
