“[In response to Alfred Tennyson's poem "Vision of Sin," which included the line "Every moment dies a man, every moment one is born."] If this were true, the population of the world would be at a stand-still.

Strictly speaking, the actual figure is so long I cannot get it into a line, but I believe the figure 1 [and] 1/16 will be sufficiently accurate for poetry.” IfsMenWorldShouldBelieveLongStillsMomentsWould BeDiesNextI BelieveBornLinesSinVisionFiguresBirthResponseRatePopulationExcessAccurateTennyson Author:Charles Babbage
