A Poem by Darwin

The Digital Cuttlefish: The Evolutionary Biology Valentine's Day Poem: "But think of this, for what it’s worth:
Millennia before my birth
That DNA had roamed the earth,
In residents thereof;
The neat thing is, it’s really true,
The feeling that I have for you
Although, of course, it feels brand-new
Is truly ageless love."

Here is the beginning of my post. And here is the rest of it.

Glad you like it--it is one of my favorites!

It is from last February, though--could I ask how you came across it?

I was browsing my web of links, one led me there.

Is this your writing? It is quite beautiful and fits with some ideas I have about representing science to the public as having all the beauty and mystery of religion plus offering a higher moral standard.

Have you read "The Book of J?"

It is indeed my writing; thank you for the compliment! "The book of J" has been on my list for some time, but I have not read it.
