HUXLEY 43 



fully these laws are known. Such are well aware 

 that the always increasing, but ever limited 

 known is wrapped round on all sides with a 

 boundless unknown. Peering from time to time 

 into that dark unknown they may people its 

 depths with fancies ; but they leave those fancies 

 there when they turn back to their daily task in 

 the clear light of the known. Yet the feelings of 

 wonder and awe with which that vast unknown 

 must always fill them will abide with them, 

 chastening and humbling them, ennobling their 

 daily task and fitting them the better to perform 

 it. Borne up by such feelings Huxley lived and 

 worked.
