Excerpt from From Poet to Premier: The Centennial Cycle 1809-1909; Poe, Lincoln, Holmes, Darwin Tennyson, Gladstone
Gladstone turned those legends into fact and those prophecies into history. And strangest of all, in this fertile year, on February 12, Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin saw the light, the light which from their answering eyes was re flected upon four million of slaves set free and on the tradition-bound minds of the time. The Vestiges of Creation were destined now to be more than a trace of [ye left upon our little earth, which henceforth, by Charles Darwin's leading, should be found to be the very repository of the treasures of the past. As Lincoln and Darwin, the emancipators, were born in 1809, so, in that year, the adventurous spirit of Thomas Paine struggled at last into the freedom of death.
