For such a giant of the scientific community, he was after all human.
My two favorite journal entries:
"But I am very poorly today & very stupid & hate everybody & everything."
"I am going to write a little Book for Murray on orchids and today I hate them worse than everything."
He had chronic nausea (possibly abdominal migraine), so I'm not surprised he was feeling poorly.
"I cannot brain today, I have the dumb"
Me too Charles, me too.
Huh, I feel much closer to Darwin now
"I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before"
