Elizabeth Cary Agassiz, Louis Agassiz: his life and correspondence, third edition, Chapter 25: 1872-1873: Aet. 65-66. (search)
geological succession of animals This paper contained the sentence so often quoted since, A physical fact is as sacred as a moral principle. Our own nature demands from us this double allegiance. This expressed the secret of his whole life. Every fact in nature was sacred to him, as part of an intellectual conception expressed in the history of the earth and the beings living upon it. On the 2d of December, he was called to a meeting of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture at Fitchburg, where he lectured in the evening on The structural growth of domesticated animals. Those who accompanied him, and knew the mental and physical depression which had hung about him for weeks, could not see him take his place on the platform, without anxiety. And yet, when he turned to the blackboard, and, with a single sweep of the chalk, drew the faultless outline of an egg, it seemed impossible that anything could be amiss with the hand or the brain that were so steady and so clear.
