Great story, and it's fascinating to see Darwin's diary next to the captain's.
"The same sea filled our decks so deep, that if another had followed it is not difficult to guess the result." Charles Darwin, Beagle Diary, 13 Jan 1833.
Dry laconic understatement here, beautiful in its rhythm and its trusting collusion with the reader. We can picture such a passage in Daniel Defoe or Laurence Sterne.
Ah yes, another thrilling episode of "Darwin's Greatest Hits" where we get to sift through quotes like we're on a literary Easter egg hunt. 🎩✨ Apparently, realizing that the HMS Beagle was more than just a jolly cruise took a whopping three episodes. 😴📚

2. [...] inseguridad en sus pasos, unidos a la certeza de que sus ideas, a pesar de arrojar luz sobre lo desconocido, quebraban algunos de los principios fundamentales sobre los que se apoyaba el conocimiento desde hacía siglos, constituyen la clave para entender la figura de uno de los grandes genios de la humanidad.
