"...Thinking of so many cases of men pursuing an illusion
for years, often and often a cold shudder has run through
me, and I have asked myself whether I may not have
devoted my life to a phantasy."
(Charles Darwin's Letter to C. Lyell, November 23, 1859, cited in
Francis Darwin, The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, vol. II,
New York; D. Appleton and Company, 1888, p. 25.)
