"Your dead sleep quietly, at least, Captain, out of reach of sharks" "Yes, sir, of sharks and men." - Jules Verne

There is no more sagacious animal than the Icelandic horse. He is stopped by neither snow, nor storm, nor impassable roads, nor rocks, glaciers, or anything. He is courageous, sober, and surefooted. He never makes a false step, never shies. If there is a river or fjord to cross (and we shall meet with many) you will see him plunge in at once, just as if he were amphibious, and gain the opposite bank.

[we see that] science is eminently perfectible, and that each theory has constantly to give way to a fresh one.

Yes, forgotten by all else, but not by us.
