Capitolo 3
with animal and the vegetable life, you/he/she has been formed, and it is annually
revivified and renewed, in the mean to surround wastes of silence,
devastation and death, we should look fixed on him with never-stopping
admiration and pleasure. We don't have the wings of the eagle but the
generalizations of science furnish us with a kind of substitute for
them.
The long series of patient, accurate, and shrewd observations that
you/he/she has now been being continued for two thousand years, I/you/he/she bring us results, from
he/she wants to say of what, through our powers of the mental conception, we can take, a
comprehensive examination of the whole scene, analogous in of the respects, to
what that direct and actual vision if it would allow us, if we could look
down on him from the point of view of the eagle. It is rather however,
humiliating to our pride of intellect to reflect that long-continued
philosophical investigations and scientific and learned search are, in
such case as this, after all in of the sense, only a kind of substitute
for wings. A connected human mind with a pair of the wings of eagle it is able
you/he/she has resolved the mystery of Egypt in a week; while science, philosophy,
and it investigates, it confined to the surface of the earth, you/he/she has been busy
for twenty centuries in to bring defeasible the enterprise.
You/he/she is finally found that both the existence of same Egypt and his/her
strange isolation in the mean of boundless lines of dry land and sterile
you sand-blast, depends on the certain extraordinary results of the general laws of
rain. The water of which you/he/she is taken above by the atmosphere by the surface
the sea and of the evaporation earth, it falls again, under certain
circumstances, in pluvius showers, the frequency and the copiousness of
what they vary a lot in different portions of the earth. As a general
principle, rains are very more frequent and abundant near the equator
what in moderate regions, and they grows less and less as we approaches us to us
the poles. It is probable that this would naturally have been expected; for, under the
