Days [ ) On the Seashore | Isaac Newton, 1643-1727
Kees Scherer, Seeking Shells, Summer, 1955
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy
playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or
a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Isaac Newton, 1643-1727
