“Those silly girls had no idea what they were really celebrating. They had no idea what it took to bring Agatha and her friends together seventy-five years ago. The Women's Society Club had been about supporting one another, about banding together to protect one another because no one else would.

“I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that this delicate motion should reside in all the ordinary things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it. I remember, in the winter of our first experiments, just seven years ago, looking on snow with new eyes.

To see the world for a moment as something rich and strange is the private reward of many a discovery.” WorldShouldYearsFirstsLooksMomentsFeelingsEyeEarthRememberScienceLostWonderRichFieldsStrangeDiscoveryYears AgoLaysRewardsSevenWinterDelightExperimentsSnowDelicateSeven YearsRevealingMagneticDoorstepNew EyesProtonMagnetic Fields Author:Edward Mills Purcell
