From a ' Musica Viva ' concert in St. Andrew's Hall, Glasgow
by Sir Alister Hardy , F.R.S.
Professor of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the University of Oxford
Over many years Professor Hardy has contemplated the possibility that a period as a dweller on the sea-shore and in the shallow waters played an important part in the evolution of man. He explains how he arrived at this hypothesis and presents evidence to support it.

Du spricht, dass ich mich tauschte Deine blaues Auge 0 liebliche Wangen Die Mainacht
Vier ernste
Gesange Denn es gehet dem Menschen wie dem Vich; Ich wandte mich und sahe; 0 Tod, wie bitter bist du; Wenn ich mit Menschen- und mit Engelszungen redete
by Walt Whitman
A Song of Myself was written in 1855, when Whitman was thirty-six, and published in that year as an untitled introduction to the first edition of Leaves of Grass. It was intended as a personal testament; its prophetic tone and the pantheism and idealism it recommends remained a permanent characteristic of Whitman's verse.
